Yesterday


The song is made up of nice simple riffs I've written riffs in bars because timing is important and i've written the beats at the top of the bars. Keep playing the chord and count out the beats until it changes Tuning: Standard EADGBe The song is actually played in F major (capo 5) but it sounds fine without a capo Chords: C : x32010 Bm7 : x20202 E7 : 020130 Am : x02210 G : 320033 F : 133211 D7 : xx0212 E : 022100 Dm6 : xx0201 G7 : 320001 Riff 1: Played in the verses 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 | C | Bm7 E7 | | Am G | F G* | *See below | C | Am D7 | | F C | Riff 2: Played in the chorus 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 | E E7 | Am G F Am| | Dm6 G7 | C | *You may find the G chord after the F chord in the 4th measure in Riff 1 easier as a barre chord (355433) as it only requires you to slide up 2 frets from the F barre chord Here shows how the riffs fit in with the words: Intro: C (for 2 measures) Verse 1: [Play Riff 1 twice] C Bm7 E7 Am G F Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away, G* C Now it looks as though they're here to stay, 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 G* C There's a shadow hanging over me, Am D7 F C Oh, yesterday came suddenly. Chorus: [Play Riff 2 twice] E E7 Am G F Why she had to go, Am Dm6 G7 C I don't know, she wouldn't say. E E7 Am G F I said something wrong, Am Dm6 G7 C Now I long for yesterday. Verse 2: [Play Riff 1 once] C Bm7 E7 Am G F Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, G* C Now I need a place to hide away, Am D7 F C Oh, I believe in yesterday. Chorus: [Play Riff 2 twice] E E7 Am G F Why she had to go, Am Dm6 G7 C I don't know, she wouldn't say. E E7 Am G F I said something wrong, Am Dm6 G7 C Now I long for yesterday. Verse 3: [Play Riff 1 once + last two measures repeated] C Bm7 E7 Am G F Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play, G* C Now I need a place to hide away, Am D7 F C Oh, I believe in yesterday.
