And I was young and innocent,
[G#m] [C#m]
with a [G#m] little taste.
When [A] they played I'd sing [G#m] along,
it made [A] me smile.
[C#] [B] [E] Those were such happy times,
[G#m] and not so long ago,
how I [G#m]
wondered where [A] they'd gone.
But [C#m] then I woke up again,
just [E] like a lost friend.
[C#m] All the [F#m] songs I heard [B] so well,
[E] gave me a shout of [C#m] happy woe.
Still [E] shying [C#m] away,
every [E] shing-a-ling-a [C#m]-ling,
I've decided to sing so [F#] far.
[B] To [C#m]
the part [C] where he's breaking her heart,
[E] do we really make me [A#] cry,
just like [E] before?
[A] It's yesterday [E]
once more,
and [F#m] [F#] [E] I'm home.
Should [A] be doing good,
[E] Looking back on how it [G#m] was years gone by,
[C#m] and the good times that [E] I had.
[A] Makes me seem rather [G#m] sad,
so much [A] has changed.
[B] [E] It was songs of love that [G#m] I would sing to them,
[C#m] and [B] I'd memorize [A] these words.
[C#m] Those old melodies,
[E] just as others to me,
[A] as they now [F#m] rise [B] away.
[E] Every shout,
[C#m] [E]
[C#m] [E] every shing-a-ling-a-ling,
[C#m] it's all [F#m]
[B] [C#m]
so [C] new.
Some [E] can even make me [A#] cry,
just like [E]
before.
