When I was young
G G-E G E A-G-E
I’d listen to the radio
E-G A B E-G A
Waitin’ for my favourite songs
E G A E° D° C°-B
When they played I’d sing along
G E G E-D
It made me smile
C C D E-G G
Those were such happy times
E G E A G-E
And not so long ago
D G A-B E G A
How I wondered where they’d gone
B D° C° B-A
But they’re back again
B C° B C° B A
Just like a long lost friend
A B C° C° A C° D°
All the songs I love so well
C°-D° E°-E°-E°-E°
Every sha-la-la-la
D°-C° B-C° B-A
Every woah woah
E E-G
Still shines
C°-D° E°-E°-E°-E°-E°
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
D° C° B-C° B A
That they started to sing
E E-G
So fine
A B C° B C° D°
When they get to the part
C° B C°-B C° D°
Where he’s breaking her heart
C° D° E°-E° D° C° G-A
It can really make my cry
E E A-E-G
Just like before
E E-D-C D E-F-D
It’s yesterday once more
