Yesterday by The Beatles - Guitar Chords

<< Back to The Beatles Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8 Version 9

            Chords in the original key of F. McCartney play it in G but uses 
a guitar that is tuned down one full  step (D-G-C-F-A-d), that's 
why the song sounds in the key of F. Transposed +2 to G (the way 
McCartney plays it in the studio and live until today) the song 
is much easier to play.
 

[Verse 1]
  F       Em7          A7              Dm     Dm/C     
Yesterday   all my troubles seemed so far away   
Bb       C7                    F           F/E Dm   G7       Bb F F
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday

[Verse 2]
F        Em7      A7             Dm         Dm/C
Suddenly  I'm not half the man I used to be 
Bb         C7             F       F/E Dm   G7       Bb F F
 there's a shadow hanging over me oh yesterday came suddenly

[Chorus]
Em7 A7   Dm  Dm/C Bb         Gm        C        F
Why she  had to   go I don't know she wouldn't say
Em7 A7   Dm  Dm/C  Bb          Gm        C     F 
I   said something wrong now I long for yesterday

[Verse 3]
F       Em7         A7           Dm          Dm/C
Yesterday  love was such an easy game to play 
Bb      C7             F         F/E Dm   G7      Bb F F
 now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday

[Chorus]
Em7 A7   Dm  Dm/C Bb           Gm       C       F
 Why she  had to   go I don't know she wouldn't say
Em7 A7   Dm  Dm/C  Bb          Gm        C     F 
I   said something wrong now I long for yesterday

[Verse]
F        Em7        A7           Dm           Dm/C
Yesterday  love was such an easy game to play 
Bb      C7             F         F/E Dm   G7      Bb F F
 now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday
