YESTERDAY ONCE MORE    (intro) (midi) 

                          C                              Em

1. When I was young I'd listen to the radio,

               Am      C           F

    waitin' for my favorite songs,

                       Dm                  Em                          Dm    - G

    when they played I'd sing along, it made me smile.

                                  C                                  Em

    Those were such happy times and not so long ago,

              Am               C                 F

    how I wondered where they'd gone.

      E              Am                    C      Am

    But they're back again just like a long lost friend,

                F        Dm            G

    all the songs I loved so well.

G7        C                         Am                     C       - Am

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,

             C                                           Am                         Dm     - G

every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine.

                  Am                                        C              Am

When they get to the part where he's breakin' her heart,

            C                    Am   - - - - - - -  C     - Am

it can really make me cry, just like before,

       F                         C                          F   - C                      F

it's yesterday once more (shoobidoo-lylay,       shoobidoo-lylay).

                  C                                Em

2. Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by,

                   Am              C       F

     and the good times that I had,

                   Dm                     Em                          Dm           - G

    makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed.

                C                                     Em

    It was songs of love that I would sing to then

                 Am    C               F

    and I'd memorize each word,

       E           Am                                 C         Am

    those old melodies still sound so good to me,

                    F         Dm       G

    as they melt the years away.

G7        C                         Am                     C       - Am

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,

             C                                           Am                        Dm     - G

every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine.

           Am                                        C          Am

All my best memories come back clearly to me, 

                 C                      Am   - - - - - -   C     - Dm

some can even make me cry just like before,

       F                         C                         F

it's yesterday once more (shoobidoo-lylay).

G7        C                         Am                      C       - Am

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,

             C                                           Am                         Dm     - G

every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine……
