Paul McCartney's greatest composition as one of the Beatles in my opinion has proved quite a challenge to me. It was requested some days ago, but with my throat giving me trouble, I did not want to try to sing it until that was better. It has also proved quite tricky to work out the chord pattern for this song, but I think I have it now, so thank you to Will for the request.

Yesterday
Paul MacCartney
No capo

C                 Bm7           E7                                Am           G   F
Yesterday,         all my troubles seemed so far away,
            G7                                      F            C                               
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
G  Am  D7         F          C     
Oh I believe in yesterday,

C               Bm7             E7                      Am               G  F
Suddenly,         I’m not half the man I used to be,
                 G7                          F       C      
There’s a shadow hanging over me
G    Am     D7             F           C
Oh yesterday came suddenly

Bm7   E7   Am  G  F              Dm     G                      C            
Why   she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say,
Bm7   E7    Am    G       F                     Dm   G               C    
I          said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

C                 Bm7                E7                   Am                    G  F
Yesterday,         love was such an easy game to play,
           G7                        F         C     
Now I need a place to hide away,
G  Am  D7         F          C     
Oh I believe in yesterday
