Yesterday’s hero
D - E (4x) A

see the people
who stop and stare,
and say, “Haven't I seen that face somewhere,
E
a long time
ago.”

2. When we walk down the
street,
D
see the stranger who says,
“Why, hi”,
with a “How you going, buddy, when
you walked on by,
E
I thought I'd say hello.”
E
They say: Haven't I seen your
face before,
weren't you the boy that used
to live next door,
weren't you on television every
night,
haven't I seen you round ?
