A7 E7 E7/9 A7
I do remember
E7 E7/9 A A6 A7 A D6
When the sunlight had a special kind of brightness
B7 Cdim B7 Bm5-/7 E7
And the laughter held a lover's kind of lightness
Fdim A7 Em7 A7 A7/13- D6 Cdim Em7 A7
Yellow days, yellow days.
A7 E7 E7/9 A7
She would hold me
E7 E7/9 A A6 A7 A D6
And the smile would spread around us so completely
B7 Cdim B7 Bm5-/7 E7
And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly
Fdim A7 Em7 A7 A7/13- D6 Fdim A7 Fdim D
Yellow days, yellow days.
D7 B7 Cdim B7 Cdim
But then came thunder and I heard her say "goodbye"
E7 A6
Through tears of wonder,
Am Cdim G G/F#
Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
E7/9 E7 Bm5-/7 A7
Yellow days, where'd you go
A7 E7 E7/9 A7
Life is empty
E7 E7/9 A A6 A7 A D6
And the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
B7 Cdim B7 Bm5-/7 E7
And the laughter's just an echo I remember
Fdim A7 Em7 A7 A7/13- D6 Fdim A7 Fdim G Edim
From yellow days, yellow days
Fdim D Em7 A7/13- D
Yellow days.
