Julio Iglesias - Yesterday when i was young

Yester^Am7day, when I was ^D7young, the taste of life was ^GM7sweet, as rain upon my ^CM7tongue, I teased at life, as ^Cmif it were a foolish ^B7game, Em B+ E7 the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.

The thousand dreams I ^Am7dreamed, the splendid things I ^D7planned, I always built, ^GM7alas, on weak and shifting ^CM7sand, I lived by night, and ^Cmshunned the naked light of ^B7day, Em B+ E7 and only now, I see, how the years ran away.

Yester^Am7day, when I was ^D7young, so many happy ^GM7songs were waiting to be ^CM7sung, so many wayward ^Am7pleasures lay in store for ^B7me, Em B+ E7 and so much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see. I ran so fast that ^Am7time, and youth at last ran ^D7out, I never stopped to ^GM7think, what life, was all ^CM7about, and every conver^Am7sation, I can now re^B7call, Em B+ E7 concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.

Yester^Am7day, the moon was ^D7blue, and every crazy ^GM7day, brought something new to ^CM7do, I used my magic ^Cmage, as if it were a ^B7wand, Em B+ E7 and never saw the waste, and emptiness beyond. The game of love I ^Am7played, with arrogance and ^D7pride, And every flame I ^GM7lit, too quickly, quickly ^CM7died, the friends I made, all ^Cmseemed, somehow, to drift ^B7away, Em B+ E7 and only I am left, on stage, to end the play.

There are so many ^Am7songs in me, that won't be ^D7sung, I feel the bitter ^GM7taste, of tears upon my ^CM7tongue, the time has come for ^Am7me to pay for yester^B7day.. when I was ^Emyoung.^{Am Em}
