The Carpenters – Yesterday Once More
E Emaj7/Eb(or G#m/D#)
When I was young I’d listened to the radio
C#m C#m7/B
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
A Amaj7 Amaj7/G#
Waiting they played I’d sing along
Amaj7/E F#m B7
It made me smile
E Emaj7/Eb(or G#m/D#)
Those were such happy times, and not so long ago
C#m C#m7 A
How I wondered where they’d gone
Emaj7/Eb G#m Cm
But now they’re back again
C#m7/B
Just like a long lost friend
Amaj7 F#m B7
All the songs I loved so well
E C#m7
(*) every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo-wo
E
Still shines
E C#m7
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they’re starting to sing’s
F#m B7
So fine
Cm C+
When they get to the part, where he’s breakin’ her heart
E/B A#m7(b5)
It can really make me cry
E/B A/B
Just like before
Emaj7
It’s yesterday once more
E Emaj7/Eb(or G#m/D#)
Lookin’ back on how it was, in years gone by
C#m C#m7/B
And the good times that I had
A Amaj7 Amaj7/G#
Makes today seem rather sad
Amaj7/E F#m B7
So much has changed
E Emaj7/Eb(or G#m/D#)
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
C#m C#m7 A
And I’d memorize each word
Emaj7/Eb G#m Cm
Those old melodies
C#m7/B
Still sound so good to me
Amaj7 F#m B7
As they melt the years away
