    Yesterday,
           E7                 Am         Am7/G       F
    All my troubles seemed so far away

    Now it looks as though they're here to stay
 C/B    Am7 D7       F  C
    Oh, I believe in yesterday
    C          Bm
    Suddenly
            E7             Am          Am7/G       F
    I'm not half the man I used to be

    There's a shadow hanging over me

    Why     she had to go

    I don't know, she wouldn't say

    Now I long for yesterday

    Yesterday
             E7           Am           Am7/G       F
    Love was such an easy game to play

    Now I need a place to hide away

    Oh, I believe in yesterday
