[E] When I was young, I'd listen [G#m] to the radio, [C#m] waiting for my favorite song.
When they [E] played, I'd sing [G#m] along.
It made [F#m] me smile.
[A] Those were [E] such happy times, and [G#m] not so long ago, [C#m] how I wondered where they'd gone.
[D#]
[G#] But [C#m] they're back again, just [E] like a long lost friend, [C#m] all the songs [F#m] I loved so [A] well.
[E]
Every sha-la-la, [C#m] every whoa-oh-oh, [E] it's inside.
[C#m]
[E] Every shing-a-ling-a-ling [C#m] that they're starting to [F#m] sing so far.
[E]
[F#m] When [C#m] they go to the park, where [C] it's breakin' our heart,
[E] really make [A#] me cry.
Just like [E] before, [A] it's yesterday [E] once more.
[A]
[E] [A] Looking
[E] back on how it [G#m] was in years gone by,
[C#m] and the good times that [E] I had,
[A] makes today seem rather [G#m] sad.
So much [F#m] has changed.
[B]
[E] With songs of love [G#m] that I would sing to them,
[C#m] and I'd memorize each [D#] word.
[G#] [C#m] Those old melodies still sound [E] so good to me,
[A] as they melt [F#m] the years [B] away.
Every [E] sha-la-la, [C#m] every whoa-oh-oh, still [E] shines.
[C#m]
Every [E] shing-a-ling-a [C#m]-ling that they're starting to sing [F#m] so far.
[B]
[C#m] All my best memories [G#] come back nearly to me,
[E] some can even make [A#] me cry.
[A#m] Just like [E] before, [A]
it's [E] yesterday [G#m] once more.
[E]
Every sha-la-la, [C#m] every whoa-oh-oh, [E] still shines.
[C#m]
