Yesterday When I Was Young Hier Encore by Willie Nelson - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Willie Nelson Song List
Version 1
[Verse 1]
Am D7
Yesterday, when I was young
G C
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
Am B7
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
Em
The way an evening breeze may tease a candle flame
Am D
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
D7 G C
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
Am B7
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
Em
And only now I see how the years have run away
[Verse 2]
Am D
Yesterday, when I was young
D7 G C
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
Am B7
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
Em
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
Am D
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
D7 G Ebmaj7
I never stopped to think what life was all about
Am B7
Every conversation that I can now recall
Em
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
[Instrumental]
Am D D7 G C Emaj7 B7 E
[Verse 3]
Am D
Yesterday, the moon was blue
D7 G C
And every crazy day brought something new to do
Am B7
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
Em
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
Am D
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
D7 G C
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
Am B7
The friends I made all seemed, somehow, to drift away
Em
And only I am left on stage to end the play
Am D
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
D7 G C
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
Am B7
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
Em
When I was young
