[E] Yesterday, [Fm]
when I [Bb] was young, the taste of life [Eb] was sweet, as rain upon [Ab] my tongue.
I teased at life [D] as if it were a [G] foolish game.
The way the evening [Cm] breeze may tease a candle flame,

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

_ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ There are so many [D] _ songs in me that won't [G] be sung. _ _
I feel the bitter [Cm] taste _ [Bb] of tears upon my [F] tongue. _
The time has come [Fm] for me _ _ _ _ to pay for [Cm]
yesterday _ _ _ when _ _
[G] I _ _ _ [G] was young.
