Yesterday When I Was Young | Roy Clark | Lyrics [Kara + Vietsub HD] Chords

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] Yesterday, _ _ when I was [C] young, the taste of life [F] was sweet, as rain [Bb] upon my tongue, [Gm] I
teased at life as if it were a foolish game.
[A] _
The way the [Dm] evening breeze may tease a candle flame, the thousand [Gm] dreams I dreamed, the
splendid [C] things I planned, I always [F] built to last on weekend [Bb] shifting sand.
I live by night and shun the naked light [D] of day, [A]
and only [Dm] now I see how the years ran [D] away.
_ [Gm] Yesterday, _ when I was [C] young, so many [F] happy songs were waiting [Bb] to be sung, so many [Gm] wild
pleasures lay in [A] store for me, and so much [Dm] pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I [Gm] ran so fast that time and youth at [C] last ran out, I never [F] stopped to think what life
was [Bb] all 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.
[D] The game of [Gm] love I played with arrogance [C] 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 I [Dm] am left on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won't [C] be sung, [C] I feel the bitter [F] taste of tears upon [Bb] my tongue.
The time has come for [Gm] me to pay [A] for yesterday, when [Em] I _ _ [Dm] was young.
[D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
