[Verse]
E G#m/D#
When i was young I'd listen to the radio
C#m C#m/B
Waiting for my favorite songs
Amaj7 G#m7
When they played I'd sing along
F#m7 B/D# A9/C# A/B
It made me smile
E G#m/D#
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
C#m C#m/B
How I wondered where they'd gone
D#m7-5 G#7 C#m
But they're back again
C#m/B
Just like a long lost friend
Amaj7 F#m7 A/B
All the songs I love so well
Amaj7 F#m7 A/B
[Chorus]
B E C#m E
Every sha-la-la-la, Every wo-o-wo-o still shines
E
Every shing-A-ling-A-ling
C#m F#m7 B A/B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
B C#m
When they get to the part
Caug
Where he's breaking her heart
E/B A#m7-5
It can really make me cry
E/B A/B
Just like before
Emaj7
It's yesterday once more
[Verse]
Looking back on how it was in years gone by
and the good times that i had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.
[Chorus]
B E C#m E
Every sha-la-la-la, Every wo-o-wo-o still shines
E
Every shing-A-ling-A-ling
C#m F#m7 B A/B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
B C#m
When they get to the part
C aug
Where he's breaking her heart
E/B A#m7-5
It can really make me cry
E/B A/B
Just like before
Emaj7
It's yesterday once more
All my best memories come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
[Chorus]
B E C#m E
Every sha-la-la-la, Every wo-o-wo-o still shines
E
Every shing-A-ling-A-ling
C#m F#m7 B A/B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
B C#m
When they get to the part
C aug
Where he's breaking her heart
E/B A#m7-5
It can really make me cry
E/B A/B
Just like before
Emaj7
It's yesterday once more
