The song is made up of nice simple riffs
I've written riffs in bars because timing is important and i've written the beats
at the top of the bars.
Keep playing the chord and count out the beats until it changes
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
The song is actually played in F major (capo 5) but it sounds fine without a capo

*You may find the G chord after the F chord in the 4th measure in Riff 1 easier as
a barre chord (355433)
as it only requires you to slide up 2 frets from the F barre chord
Here shows how the riffs fit in with the words:
Intro:
C (for 2 measures)
Verse 1:
[Play Riff 1 twice]
Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away,
G* C
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
G* C
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Chorus:
[Play Riff 2 twice]
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Verse 2:
[Play Riff 1 once]
Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play,
G* C
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Chorus:
[Play Riff 2 twice]
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

[Play Riff 1 once + last two measures repeated]
Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play,
