Hollies - Yesterday's Gone
INTRO:      G     C     G     Em  D  
In the Gcity, where no one speaks
Where people Cliving, just to make ends meet
And Emlooking back over their shoulders
At the road they Cshould be on
It gets me Gwishing I could catch a wave
Right out of Cnowhere and be on my way
I'm Emdrinking red wine in the sunshine
                             C~ ~
And sleeping a-way too long
PRE-CHORUS:
AmLots of strange things can change, Bmain't that the way
You Fthink you got it figured out, it Dblows you away
CHORUS:
CYesterday's gone, baby, don't you know
You'll Gnever get it back, gonna let it go
EmYesterday's gone, it's a one night show
But you've Dgot tomorrow, yeah
CYesterday's gone, look at how you've grown
You'd Gnever give it up, 'cause you're not alone
EmYesterday's gone
Don't have a Dheart of stone, but yeah, yeah, CyeahD  
Ain't it a Gpity the way we live
Always Cthinking that there's more than this
Getting Emsick and tired of trying to find
Someone else we can Cget along
We're remiGniscing about the long lost days
Like a Cmovie that I might replay
When Emevery day lasted a lifetime
                           C~ ~
And summer went on and on

Hollies - Yesterday's Gone

G C G Em D

INTRO:

In the city, where no one speaks

Where people living, just to make ends meet

And looking back over their shoulders

At the road they should be on

It gets me wishing I could catch a wave

Right out of nowhere and be on my way

I'm drinking red wine in the sunshine

~ ~

And sleeping a-way too long

PRE-CHORUS:

Am Bm

Lots of strange things can change, ain't that the way

F D

You think you got it figured out, it blows you away

CHORUS:

Yesterday's gone, baby, don't you know

You'll never get it back, gonna let it go

Yesterday's gone, it's a one night show

But you've got tomorrow, yeah

Yesterday's gone, look at how you've grown

You'd never give it up, 'cause you're not alone

Yesterday's gone

D C D

Don't have a heart of stone, but yeah, yeah, yeah

Ain't it a pity the way we live

Always thinking that there's more than this

Getting sick and tired of trying to find

Someone else we can get along

We're reminiscing about the long lost days

Like a movie that I might replay

When every day lasted a lifetime

~ ~

And summer went on and on
