Yesterday, When I Was Young Chords by Glen Campbell

[Gm] _ _ Yesterday, when I was [C] young, the taste of [F] life was sweet, like rain upon [Bb] my tongue.
I [Gm] teased at life as if it were [A] a foolish game, the way an [Dm] evening breeze would tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams [Gm] I dreamed, the splendid things [C] I planned, I always [F] built to last on weekend [Bb] shifting sand.
I lived [Gm] by night and shunned the naked [A] light of day, and only now I [Dm] see how the years have run away.
_ _ [Bb] Yesterday, when I was [C] young, there were [F] so many songs that waited to be [Bb] sung,
so many wild [Gm] pleasures that lay in store [A] for me, and so much [F] pain my desert [Dm] eyes refused to see.
I ran so [Bb] fast to time, and youth at [C] last ran out, I never [F] stopped to think what life was [Bb] all about.
And every [Gm] conversation _ that I [A] can recall concerned [Dm] itself with me and nothing else at all.

_ _ _ _ [Gm] Yesterday, the moon [C] was blue, [Gm] and every [F] crazy day brought something [Bb] new to do.
And I used my [Gm] magic age as if it [A] were a wand, and never saw [Dm] the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of love [Gm] I played with arrogance and [C] pride, and every [F] flame I lit so quickly, [Bb] quickly died.
The friends I [Gm] made all seemed somehow to drift [A] away, and only I [Dm] am left on stage to end the play.
_ _ [Bb] Yesterday, when I [C] was young, there were so [F] many [Am] songs that waited to [Bb] be sung,
so many [Gm] wild pleasures lay in store [A] for me, and so much [Am] pain my dazzled [Dm] eyes [Am] refused [Dm] to see.
There are so many [Bb] songs in me that won't [C] be sung, cause I feel the bitter [F] taste of tears upon [Bb] my tongue.
And the time has come [Gm] for me to pay for [A] yesterday when I [D] was young. _ _
