Chords for Yesterday, When I Was Young Hier Encore (Lyrics) - Willie Nelson

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ 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 [D] foolish 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 times, and youth at last [F] ran out.
I never stopped [Bb] to think what life was [Eb] all about.
And every [Cm] conversation I can now [D] recall concerned [Gm] itself with me and nothing else at all. _ _

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