Chords for Father & Daughter sing Charles Aznavour's "Yesterday When I Was Young/ Hier Encore"

_ Yesterday, _ [Dm] _ _ when I was [G] young, the taste of life was sweet as rain _ upon [F] my tongue.
I teased that life as if [B] it were _ a foolish [E] _ game.
The way the [Am] evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand [Dm] dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I [G] planned, I always built them [C] less.
_ So weak and shifting [F] sand, _ I live by [B] night and shun the naked [E] light of day.
And only now [Am] I see how [Bm] the years ran [Am] away. _ _ _ _
Yesterday, [Dm] _ _ _ _ when I wasn't [G] _ _ _ _ drinking [Em] _
songs, or waiting to be [A] sung.
So many we were _ [Dm] pleasures laying stone [E] for me.
And so much pain, [Am] my dazzled eyes refused [Am] to see.
I ran so fast that [Dm]
time, and you'd rather [G] ever _ _ stop to [Em] think.
But life was all [E] about, and [A] every _ [Dm] conversation.
_ I can now [E] recall, _ concern itself with [Am] me, me, and me, [Bm] and nothing else at [Am] all. _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Yesterday, [Dm] when _ _ I was twenty, [G] _ _ I _ caressed [C] time.
_ _ And played [F] with life like we play [B] with love.
And I lived [E] the night without counting [Am] on my days.
[E] And I played _ [Am] with time.
_ _ I made [Dm] so many plans _ that stayed [G] in the air.
I melted [C]
so many hopes that flew _ [F] _
away.
That I remain [B] lost, _ not knowing [E] where to go.
_ Eyes looking for the [Am] sky, but heart [Am] set on the ground.
_ _ Yesterday, [Dm] when _ _ _ I was [G] twenty, _ _ I wasted _ [Em] time. _
Believing that [E] I could stop time, [A] and hold it back.
[Dm] _ _ Even if I [E] overcame it, _ I _ only [Am] ran.
And I _ [Am] sighed, _ _ ignoring the [Dm] past.
And I was looking forward to the _
_ _ [G] future. _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ Every conversation, [E] _ _ [A] and my [Dm] _
opinion.
_ I played [E] the game, _ _ to [Am] _ criticize [Bm] it, _ with [Am] aversion.
_ _ Yesterday, [Dm] _ _ _ _ the moon [G] was _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
brought something new to [A] do.
I used my [Dm] magic aid, as if a war, a [E] war.
_ And never saw the [Am]
waste, [E] and emptiness [Am] beyond. _
The game of [Dm] love, I played with arrogance [G] and pride.
And every [Em] flame I lit, to quickly, quickly [A]
die.
The friends I [Dm] made, all seem, somehow, to drift [E] away. _ _
And [Am] only I, _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ there are so [Dm] many songs in me, that won't [G] be sung.
_ I feel the [C] bitter taste of tears, _ upon [F] my tongue.
The time has come for [B] me to pay, for [E] yesterday.
_ _ Les yeux [E] [Am] cherchant le ciel.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
