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
