Carpenters-Yesterday Once More - BPM - 82
[Verse 1 - Capo 2 original key - BPM 82]When I was [D] young I'd listen to the [F#m] radio
Waiting [Bm] for my [Bm/A] favourite [Gmaj7] songs
When they pl [Gmaj7] ayed I'd sing a [F#m7] long
It made me smile
[Em7] [Em7] [A/C#] [G9/B-x20005]
Those were such [D] happy times and not so [F#m] long ago
How I wo [Bm] ndered [Bm/A] where they'd [Gmaj7] gone
[C#m7] But they're [Bm] back again
Just like a [Bm/A] long lost friend
All the [Gmaj7] songs I [Em7] love so [A] well
[Chorus]
[G/A] Eve [A]ry
[D]sha-la-la-la, Every
[Bm] wo-o-wo-o still [D] shines [Bm]
[Bm riff - Bsus2 to Bm Bsus2 - then x244x2 - mute B with fretting finger
x x Bm Bsus2 - Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 B5]
Every [D] shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're [Bm] startin' to sing so [Em7] fine [A]
[G/A]When [A]they
[Bm] get to the part (can play just Asharp to cheat)
Where he's [A#aug-x1232x] breaking her heart
It can [D] really make me [G#m7] cry
Just like be [D] fore [G/A] (double stop)
It's yesterday once [Dmaj7] more
(D to G/A is quick change)
[Dmaj7] Shu be doo [D]lang [G/A]lang
[Dmaj7] Shu be doo [D]lang [G/A]lang
[Verse 2]
Looking [D] back on how it was in [F#m] years gone by
And the [Bm] good times [Bm/A] that I [Gmaj7] had
Makes [Gmaj7] today seem rather [F#m7] sad
So much has c [Em7] hanged [A/C#] [G9/B]
It was [D] songs of love that I would [F#m] sing to then
And I'd [Bm] memo [Bm/A] rize each [Gmaj7] word
[C#m7] Those old [Bm] melodies
Still sound so [Bm/A] good to me
As they [Gmaj7] melt the y [Em7] ears a [A] way.
[Chorus with variation]
[G/A] Eve [A]ry
[D] sha-la-la-la, Every [Bm] wo-o-wo-o
still [D] shines
(All the oldies but the [Bm] goodies)
Every
[D] shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're s [Bm] tartin' to sing so [Em7] fine [A]
[G/A]All [A]my [Bm] best memories
come back [A#aug] clearly to me
Some can [D] even make me [G#m7] cry.
Just like be [D] fore [G/A] (double stop)
It's yesterday once [Dmaj7] more
[Dmaj7] Shu be doo [D]lang [G/A]lang
[G/A] Eve [A]ry
[D] sha-la-la-la, Every [Bm] wo-o-wo-o
still [D] shines [Bm]
Every [D] shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're s [Bm] tartin' to sing so [Em7] fine [A]
[Repeat Chorus Start to end - End on D]
[Possible ending]
[G/A] Eve [A]ry
[D] sha-la-la-la
