Yesterday Once More — Carpenters

Chords and lyrics for Yesterday Once More by Carpenters (key of E).

Verse

[E]When I was young I’d listen to the [Emaj7]radio
Waitin’ [C#m]for my favorite songs
When they [Amaj7]played I’d sing [B]along[C#m7]
It [C#m7]made me [A]smile[B7][B]
Those were such [E]happy times, and not so [Emaj7]long ago
How I [C#m]wondered where they’d gone
But they’re [C#m]back again
[C#m7]Just like a long lost friend
All the [Amaj7]songs I loved so [B7]well

Chorus

Every [E]sha-la-la-la, every [C#m7]wo-wo-wo
Still [E]shines
Every [E]shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they’re [C#m7]starting to sing’s
So [A]fine[B7]

Post-Chorus

When they [C#m7]get to the part, where he’s [C#mMaj7]breakin’ her heart
It can [C#m7]really make me cry
Just like [E]before[A]
It’s yesterday once [E]more

Verse

Lookin’ [E]back on how it was, in [Emaj7]years gone by
And the [C#m]good times that I had[C#m7]
Makes [Amaj7]today seem rather [B]sad
So much has [A][B]changed[B7]
It was [E]songs of love that I would [Emaj7]sing to then
And I’d [C#m]memorize each word[C#m7]
Those [C#m]old melodies
Still sound so[C#mMaj7] good to me
As they [Amaj7]melt the years [B7]away
