elvis tribute-yesterday when i was young by roy clark chords
Start Jamming...
[Dm]
Seems [Gm] the love I've known has always been the most [F] destructive kind.
[Bb] Guess that's why now [Gm] I feel [A] so old [Dm] before my time.
[Gm] Yesterday when I was [C] young, the taste of [F] life was sweet.
As rain upon [Bb] my tongue, I [Gm] teased at life as if it were a foolish [A] game.
The way the evening [Dm] breeze may tease a candle flame,
The thousand [Gm] dreams I dreamed, the splendid things [C] I planned,
I always built [F] to last on weakened, shifting [Bb] sand.
I [Gm] live by night and shun the naked light of [A] day,
And only [Dm] now I see how the years ran [D] away.
Yesterday [Gm] when I [C] was young, so many [F] happy songs were waiting to [Bb] be sung.
So many [Gm] wild pleasures lay in store [A] for me,
And so much [Dm] pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so [Gm] fast that time and youth at [C] last ran out.
I never stopped [F] to think what life was all [Bb] about,
And every [Gm] conversation I can now [A] recall,
Concerns [Dm] itself with me and nothing else at all.
[Gm] [C]
[F] [Bb]
[Gm] [A]
[Dm]
Yesterday [Gm] the moon [C] was blue,
And every [F] crazy day brought something [Bb] new to do.
I used my [Gm] magic age as if it [A] were a wand,
And never [Dm] saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of [Gm] love I played with [C] arrogance and pride,
And every [F] flame I lit to quickly, [Bb] quickly die.
The friends I [Gm] made all seemed somehow to drift [A] away,
And only [Dm] I am left on stage to end the play.
There are [Gm] so many songs in me that won't [C] be sung.
I feel the bitter [F] taste of tears upon my [Bb] tongue.
The time has come [Gm] for me to pay [A] for yesterday when [Em] I [Dm] was young.
