[Verse 1]
G G
Still, I remember when I was told
G G
Stories of evenings and days of old
G G
Nothing to hide and nothing to lose
G G
Down to the hall in their dancing shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em C D
Where a boy with nothing but hope to declare
Em D G C
Saw a girl who was tying a bow in her hair
[Chorus]
Em G
Here's to all the olden heroes
D G
Everyone who's gone before
Em C G
Here's to all your hopes and dreams and
C G D G G
Everything worth fighting for
[Verse 2]
G C G
Hitting the earth on the day we're born
G G
We come from dust and to dust return
G G
All of our moments while we are here
G G
Last for a lifetime then disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em C D
And she smiled as she heard the accordion play
D Em D G C
And they laughed as they waltzed the evening away
[Chorus]
Em G
Here's to all the olden heroes
C G D C
Everyone who's gone before
Em C G
Here's to all your hopes and dreams and
C G D G
Everything worth fighting for
Em C G
Here's to all the olden heroes
C G D C
Everyone who's gone before
Em C G
Here's to all your hopes and dreams and
C G D G
Everything worth fighting for
C G C G C G C C
[Post-Chorus]
D C D
And the boy unconscious of everyone there
D D G C
Held the girl who danced with the bow in her hair
[Verse 3]
G G
Ghosts of our ancestors watching on
G G
Out in the fields where the world was one
G G
Ghosts of the morning watch from above
G G
Ghosts of the evening who lived and loved
[Pre Chorus]
D Em C D
And now there's a boy on a dance floor somewhere
D Em D G C C
And a girl still tying a bow in her hair
[Chorus]
Em C G
Here's to all the olden heroes
C G D C
Everyone who's gone before
Em C G
Here's to all your hopes and dreams and
C G D G
Everything worth fighting for
Em C G
Here's to all the olden heroes
C G D C
Everyone who's gone before
Em C G
Here's to all your hopes and dreams and
C G D G
Everything worth fighting for
[Ending]
D Em C D
And still, there's a boy on a dance floor somewhere
D Em D G C
And a girl and she's tying a bow in her hair
