Yesterday's Gone 
CYesterday's gone like the FocCean  
  F  AmTaken by the tide G  
CLike the night and the FmorCning 
FLike a Ambird when she Gflies
AmYesterday's gone and it's Emonly now 
A Amplace where today used to Embe 
FLost in the space of foCrever and eEsus4ternity  E  
But tomorrow the sun will be born in 
The twinkling of an eye 
Father and mother of morning
Hope of today's gone by 
The beginning of all that has happened 
Yet the ending of all that's to be 
Just a rhyme in the line of the song only time can sing 
Ah, but AmI've read the Am/Gbook long beFfore 
                 D/F#      G  G/        G#     Am  
I had learned how to read between the lines   
Am\ G                       F                         C    Esus4         E  
I    saw only what I could see through my eyes not my mind 
God it takes a long Amtime
