[Intro]
| E |
[Verse 1]
E G#m/D#
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
C#m C#m/B
Waiting for my favorite songs
Amaj7 G#m7
When they played I'd sing along
Bdim7 F#m7 | B7/D# A/B |
It made me smile (link) (see above)
[Verse 2]
E G#m/D#
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
C#m C#m/B Amaj7
How I wondered where they'd gone
D#m7-5 G#7 C#m
But they're back again
C#m/B
Just like a long lost friend
Amaj7 F#m7 B
All the songs I love so well
[Chorus]
A/B B E C#m E C#m
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
E
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
C#m F#m7 B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
A/B B C#m
When they get to the part
Caug
Where he's breaking her heart
E/B A#m7-5
It can really make me cry
E/B
Just like before
A/B Emaj7
It's yesterday once more
[Interlude] (see above)
Emaj7 A/B
Shoobidoo-lang-lang
Emaj7 A/B
Shoobidoo-lang-lang
[Verse 3]
E G#m/D#
Looking back on how it was in years gone by
C#m C#m/B
And the good times that I had
Amaj7 G#m7
Makes today seem rather sad
F#m7 | A/B B |
So much has changed
[Verse 4]
E G#m/D#
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
C#m C#m/B Amaj7
And I'd memorize each word
D#m7-5 G#7 C#m C#m/B
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
Amaj7 F#m7 A/B
As they melt the years away
[Chorus]
A/B B E C#m E C#m
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
(All the oldies but goodies)
E
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
C#m F#m7 B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
A/B B C#m Caug
All my best memories come back clearly to me
E/B A#m7-5
Some can even make me cry
E/B
Just like before
A/B [ Emaj7 ]
It's yesterday once more
[Interlude] (see above)
Emaj7 A/B
Shoobidoo-lang-lang
[Outro]
A/B B E C#m E C#m
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
E
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
C#m F#m7 B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
A/B B E C#m E C#m
Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines
E
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
C#m F#m7 B
That they're startin' to sing so fine
