E                       Emaj7
When I was young I’d listen to the radio
C#m                     C#m7
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
Amaj7                   B      C#m7
When they played I’d sing along
A               B      B7
It made me smile

E                       Emaj7
Those were such happy times, and not so long ago
C#m                     C#m7
How I wondered where they’d gone
Cm
But they’re back again
C#m7
Just like a long lost friend
Amaj7           B7
All the songs I loved so well


[Chorus]

E                       C#m7
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo-wo
E
Still shines
E                       C#m7
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they’re starting to sing’s
A                       B7
So fine


[Post-Chorus]

Cm                              Gm7
When they get to the part, where he’s breakin’ her heart
A                       Am5
It can really make me cry
E                       A
Just like before
E
It’s yesterday once more


[Verse]

E                       Emaj7
Lookin’ back on how it was, in years gone by
C#m                     C#m7
And the good times that I had
Amaj7                   B      C#m7
Makes today seem rather sad
A               B      B7
So much has changed

E                       Emaj7
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
C#m                     C#m7
And I’d memorize each word
C#m
Those old melodies
C#m7
Still sound so good to me
Amaj7           B7
As they melt the years away
