Chords for Willie Nelson - Yesterday When I was Young [Hier Encore] (Lyrics)

[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yesterday, [C] _ [Cm] when I was young, [F] _ the taste of [Bb] life was sweet as rain upon [Eb] my tongue.
I teased at [Cm] life as if it were a foolish [D] game.
The way the [Gm] evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams [Cm] I dreamed, the splendid things [F] I planned.
I always built [Bb] to last on weak and shifting [Eb] sand.
I lived by [Cm] night and shunned the naked [D] light of day.
And only [Gm] now I see how the years ran away.
Yesterday, [Cm] _ when I was [F] young, so many happy [Bb] songs were waiting to [Eb] be sung.
So many [Cm] wild pleasures lay in store [D] for me.
And so much [Gm] pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so [Cm] fast at time, and youth at [F] last ran out.
I never stopped [Bb] to think what life was [Eb] all about.
And every [Cm] conversation I can [D] now recall concerned [Gm] itself with me and nothing else at all.

[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Fm] _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] Yesterday, _ the moon [F] was blue, _ and every [Bb] crazy day brought something [Eb] new to do.
I used [Cm] my magic age as if it were a [D] wand.
I never [Gm] saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of [Cm] love I played with arrogance [F] and pride.
And every [Bb] flame I lit too quickly, [Eb] quickly died.
The friends [Cm] I made all seemed somehow to [D] drift away.
And only [Gm] I am left on stage to end the play.
There are so [Cm] many songs in me that [F] won't be sung.
I feel [Bb] the bitter taste of tears upon [Eb] my tongue.
The time [Cm] has come for me to pay [D] for yesterday [G] when _ [D] _ _ [Gm] I was young. _ _
