Carpenters - Yesterday Once More

 

The Carpenters – Yesterday once More

E Emaj7
When I was young I’d listened to the radio
C#m C#m7
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
Amaj7 B C#m7
Waiting they played I’d sing along
A B B7
It made me smile


E Emaj7
Those were such happy times, and not so long ago
C#m C#m7
How I wondered where they’d gone
Cm
But they’re back again
C#m7
Just like a long lost friend
Amaj7 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
A B7
So fine


Cm Gm7
When they get to the part, where he’s breakin’ her heart
A Am5
It can really make me cry
E A
Just like before
E
It’s yesterday once more


E Emaj7
Lookin’ back on how it was, in years gone by
C#m C#m7
And the good times that I had
Amaj7 B C#m7
Makes today seem rather sad
A B B7
So much has changed


E Emaj7
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
C#m C#m7
And I’d memorize each word
C#m
Those old melodies
C#m7
Still sound so good to me
Amaj7 B7
As they melt the years away
