Those Were the Days is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put a new English lyric to the Russian romance song Dorogoi dlinnoyu composed by Boris Fomin (1900–1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevsky. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism.

Mary Hopkin's 1968 debut single of Those Were the Days, which was produced by Paul McCartney of the Beatles, became a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart. It was number one in the very first edition of the foreign singles sales chart.

This piece is arranged for TTBB Men's Choir (A Cappella). The duration is 2.43 minutes and Intermediate level.

TTBB A Cappella arrangement.
Tenor 1 goes up to Bb.
Tenor 2 goes down to C.
Bass 1 goes down to G.
Bass 2 goes down to F.
Tenor 1 has melody in verses 1 and 3.
Bass 1 has melody in verses 2 and 4.
Goes up one semitone after verse 3.
Ends on major chord.
I've included in the PDF two versions, one goes from D minor to Eb minor, and the other from D minor to D# minor. Whichever the choir finds easiest to read, though once it's gone up a semitone, it's pretty much all the same as before.
