The Carpenters – Yesterday Once More
E Emaj7/Eb(or Abm/Eb)
When I was young I’d listened to the radio
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
Waiting they played I’d sing along
It made me smile
E Emaj7/Eb(or Abm/Eb)
Those were such happy times, and not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But now they’re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
(*) every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they’re starting to sing’s
So fine
When they get to the part, where he’s breakin’ her heart
E/B Bbm7(b5)
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It’s yesterday once more
E Emaj7/Eb(or Abm/Eb)
Lookin’ 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
E Emaj7/Eb(or Abm/Eb)
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
