The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band of the 1970s. Their youthful, clean-cut image, distinct styling featuring tartan-trimmed outfits, and cheery, sing-along pop hits helped the group become among the most popular musical acts of their time. For a relatively brief but fervent period (nicknamed "Rollermania"), they were a worldwide sensation.
Bassist Alan Longmuir, his younger brother Derek Longmuir, a drummer, along with school mate, lead singer Gordon "Nobby" Clark founded the group in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1967, as The Saxons.

B When I walk down the street, E See the people who stop and stare and say F# Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago B When I walk down the street, E See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi," With a, "How you going, Buddy," F# When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello
Pre-chorus:
They say: F#B Haven't I seen your face before F#B Weren't you the boy that used to live next door, F#B Weren't you on television ev'ry night F# Haven't I seen you round
Chorus:
BF# Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO, EB YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all we'll be. BF# Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO, EBF# And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be EF# If I don't get together, BF#EF# Make a new start and be somebody better, EB All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
Verse:
B When you walk down the street, now, E If you know me, then pass me by, F# If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why, I don't read the news~ B When you walk down the street, E If you're sorry then don't feel bad, If you followed my story, then just be glad, F# You ain't in my shoes
Pre-chorus:
Because, F#B Haven't you seen my face before, F#B Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door, F#B Yes, I was on television ev'ry night, F# Haven't you seen me round.
Chorus:
BF# Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO, EB YESTERDAY'S HERO, that's all we'll be. BF# Take a look at me, I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO, EBF# And YESTERDAY'S HERO, is all that I'm gonna be EF# If I don't get together, BF#EF# Make a new start and be somebody better, EB All that I'll be if I don't get together now.
