  F        Em7         A7               Dm       Dm7 Bb
Yesterday,     All my trouble seemed so far away,
        C7                 F            C  Dm7      G7   Bb
Now it looks like they're here to stay, Oh I believe  in yesterday.
         Em7          A7            Dm          Dm7 Bb
Suddenly,    I'm not half the man I used to be,
           C7             F       C  Dm7       G7     Bb  F
There's a shadow hanging over me  Oh yes-terday  came suddenly,
Em7  A7  Dm  C  Bb  Dm       Gm        C7      F
Why she  had to go  I don't know, she wouldn't say.
Em7 A7  Dm  C      Bb    Dm    Gm       C7     F
I  said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.       Yesterday,
Em7          A7          Dm          Dm7 Bb      C7               F
   Love was such an easy game to play,     Now i need a place to hide away,
C Dm7       G7    Bb  F                Gm     Bb F
Oh I believe   in yes-terday,    Mm mm mm mm mm.
