Yesterday – The Beatles

C
Yesterday,
E Am
All my troubles seemed so far away,
F G C
Now it seems as though they're here to stay,
Am D F C
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

C
Suddenly,
E Am
I'm not half the man I used to be,
F G C
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Am D F C
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

E Am G F
Why she had to go,
Em Dm G C
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
E Am E F
I said something wrong,
Em Dm G C
Now I long for yesterday.



C
Yesterday,
E Am
Love was such an easy game to play,
F G C
Now I need a place to hide away,
Am D F C
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

E Am G F
Why she had to go,
Em Dm G C
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
E Am E F
I said something wrong,
Em Dm G C
Now I long for yesterday.

Outro: Hm-m mm m mm m-m.

I have listed the basic chord progression above the tablature.
Sometimes the melody is part of the chord, and sometimes an extension
of the chord. I did not indicate which notes should be sustained. To
show the timing, I placed a "v" over each beat. I typically play the
intro, two verses, the bridge, another verse, and the coda.
