Yesterday
                           (Lennon/McCartney)
                              The Beatles
                              Help (1964)


This song is in the key of F.  Paul tuned the guitar down a WHOLE step
and played in G.  If you want to play with the album, tune down or learn
the song in F.  It sounds much better played using the original 
fingerings!!

Yesterday,
          B7              Em      Em/D  C
All my troubles seemed so far away
        D                       G          G/F#     
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
    Em    A7      C  G
Oh, I believe in yesterday


G        F#m  
Suddenly,
         B7             Em        Em/D  C
I'm not half the man I used to be
           D              G      G/F#
There's a shadow hanging over me
    Em    A7       C   G
Oh, yesterday came suddenly


F#m B7  Em  Em/D  C  G/B     Am        D        G
Why she had to    go I don't know she wouldn't say
F#m  B7   Em  Em/D  C    G/B    Am       D     G
I   said something wrong now I long for yesterday


G         F#m
Yesterday 
          B7           Em         Em/D  C
Love was such an easy game to play
        D              G        G/F#
Now I need a place to hide away
    Em    A7       C   G
Oh, I believe in yesterday.


F#m B7  Em  Em/D  C  G/B     Am        D        G
Why she had to    go I don't know she wouldn't say
F#m  B7   Em  Em/D  C    G/B    Am       D     G
I   said something wrong now I long for yesterday
