Verse 1
[E] [G#m/D#]
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
[C#m] [C#m/B]
Waiting for my favorite songs
[Amaj7] [G#m7]
When they played I'd sing along
[F#m7] [B/D#] [A9/C#] [A/B]
It made me smile
[E] [G#m/D#]
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
[C#m] [C#m/B]
How I wondered where they'd gone
[D#m7-5] [G#7] [C#m]
But they're back again
[C#m/B]
Just like a long lost friend
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [A/B]
All the songs I love so well
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [A/B]
Chorus
[B] [E] [C#m] [E]
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
[E]
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
[C#m] [F#m7] [B] [A/B]
That they're startin' to sing so fine
[B] [C#m]
When they get to the part
[Caug]
Where he's breaking her heart
[E/B] [A#m7-5]
It can really make me cry
[E/B] [A/B]
Just like before
[Emaj7]
It's yesterday once more
Verse 2
Looking back on how it was in years gone by
and the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Chorus
[B] [E] [C#m] [E]
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
[E]
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
[C#m] [F#m7] [B] [A/B]
That they're startin' to sing so fine
[B] [C#m]
All my best memories
[Caug]
come back clearly to me
[E/B] [A#m7-5]
Some can even make me cry
[E/B] [A/B]
Just like before
[Emaj7]
It's yesterday once more
Chorus
[B] [E] [C#m] [E]
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
[E]
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
[C#m] [F#m7] [B] [A/B]
That they're startin' to sing so fine
[B] [C#m]
When they get to the part
[Caug]
Where he's breaking her heart
[E/B] [A#m7-5]
It can really make me cry
[E/B] [A/B]
Just like before
[Emaj7]
It's yesterday once more
