Verse
D A Bm D
I pondered on those days gone by
D G A
as I sat beside the mill
D Bm D G
and gazed upon the setting sun
D A D
as it sank beneath the hill
D A Bm D
I gazed on it once more me boys,
D G A
'twas the very sight I’ve seen
D Bm D G
well it's just the same now as it was
D A D
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
D A Bm D
Oh how I long for those bright days
D G A
to come again once more
D Bm D G
But come again they never will for
D A D
now I’m sixty-four
[Verse]
D A Bm D
I went a little further on
D G A
as up the hill I walked,
D Bm D G
I sat down on that very spot
D A D
where we of'times sat and talked
D A Bm D
we talked about those happy days
D G A
so blissful and serene
D Bm D G
we talked about those happy days
D A D
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
D A Bm D
Oh how I long for those bright days
D G A
to come again once more
D Bm D G
But come again they never will for
D A D
now I’m sixty-four
[Verse]
D A Bm D
Well the past is past and she's gone
D G A
on earth we'll meet no more
D Bm D G
ah, but we will meet in heaven above
D A D
on that eternal shore
D A Bm D
and when we meet we’ll part no more
D G A
we both will reign supreme
D Bm D G
no more to sing of days gone by
D A D
when we were sweet sixteen
[Chorus]
D A Bm D
Oh how I long for those bright days
D G A
to come again once more
D Bm D G
But come again they never will for
D A D
now I’m sixty-four
