Yesterday When I Was Young

verse 1 Gm C Yesterday, when I was young F The taste of life was sweet Bb Like rain upon my tongue Gm I teased at life as if A It were a foolish game Dm The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame Gm The thousand dreams I dreamed C The splendid things I planned F I always built to last Bb On weak and shifting sand Gm I lived by night and shunned A The naked light of day Dm And only now I see How the years have run away [Refrão] Bb C Yesterday, when I was young F There were so many songs Bb That waited to be sung Gm so many wild pleasures A that Lay in store for me And so much pain Dm My dazzled eyes refused to see Bb I ran so fast that time C And youth at last ran out F And I never stopped to think Bb What life was all about Gm And every conversation A That I can recall Dm Concerned itself with me And nothing else at all Riff Gm C F Bb Gm A Dm verse 2 Gm C Yesterday, the moon was blue F And every crazy day Bb Brought something new to do Gm And I used my magic age A As if it were a wand Dm And never saw the waste Dm And emptiness beyond Dm Gm The game of love I played C With arrogance and pride F And every flame I lit Bb so quickly, quickly died Gm The friends I made all seemed A Somehow to drift away Dm And only I am left On stage to end the play [Refrão] Bb C Yesterday when I was young F There were so many songs Bb That waited to be sung Gm so many wild pleasures A Lay in store for me And so much pain Dm My dazzled eyes refused to see Bb There are so many songs in me C That won't be sung F cause I feel the bitter taste Bb Of tears upon my tongue Gm and The time has come for me A To pay for yesterday Dm When I was young
