Yesterday When I Was Young
Glen Campbell
Verse 1
YesterGmday, when I was Cyoung
The taste of life was Fsweet
Like rain upon my Bbtongue
I teased at life Gmas if
It were a foolish Agame
The way an evening Dmbreeze
would tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dGmreamed
The splendid things I Cplanned
I always built to lFast
On weak and shifting Bbsand
I lived by night andGm shunned
The naked light of Aday
And only now I Dmsee
How the years have run away
Chorus 1
YesterdBbay, when I was yCoung
There were so many Fsongs
That waited to be Bbsung
so many wild Gmpleasures
that Lay in store for Ame
And so much pain
My Dmdazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that Bbtime
And youth at last ran Cout
And I never stopped to Fthink
What life was all aBbbout
And every convGmersation
That I can Arecall
Concerned itself with Dmme
And nothing else at all
Riff Gm C F Bb Gm A Dm
Verse 2
YesterGmday, the moon was Cblue
And every crazy dFay
Brought something new to Bbdo
And I used my magic Gmage
As if it were a Awand
And never saw the wDmaste
And eDmmptiness beyond
The Dmgame of love I pGmlayed
With arrogance and Cpride
And every flame I lFit
so quickly, quickly Bbdied
The friends I made all Gmseemed
Somehow to drift aAway
And only I am lDmeft
On stage to end the play
Chorus 2
YesterBbday when I was yCoung
There were so many Fsongs
That waited to be Bbsung
so many wild Gmpleasures
Lay in store for Ame
And so much pain
My Dmdazzled eyes refused to see
There are so many Bbsongs in me
That won't be Csung
cause I feel the bitter Ftaste
Of tears upon my Bbtongue
and The time has come for Gmme
To pay for yesterAday
When I was yDmoung
