Tom : E
E E G#m/D#
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
C#m C#m/B
Waitin' for my favorite songs
A7M G#m
When they played I'd sing along
F° F#m B/D# A/B
It made me smile
E G#m/D#
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
C#m C#m/B A7M
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
A7M F#m7 A/B
All the songs I loved so well
B7 E
Every sha-la-la-la
[Refrão]
C#m
Every wo-oh-wo-oh
E C#m
Still shines
E
Every shing-ling-a-ling
C#m F#m7 B
That they're starting to sing so fine
[Próxima Parte]
C#m
When they get to the part
C5+
Where he's breakin' her heart
E/B A#m7(5-)
It can really make me cry
E/B A/B
Just like before
E7M
It's yesterday once more
E F#m/E
Shooby-doo-lang-lang
E7M E A/B
Shooby-doo-lang-lang
E G#m/D#
Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by
C#m C#m/B
And the good times that I had
A7M G#m
Makes today seem rather sad
F° F#m B/D# A/B
So much has changed
E G#m/D#
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
C#m C#m/B A7M
And I'd memorize each word
D#m7(5-) G#7 C#m
Those old melodies
C#m/B
Still sound so good to me
A7M F#m7 A/B
As they melt the years away
B7 E
Every sha-la-la-la
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
C#m
All my best memories
C5+
Come back clearly to me
E/B A#m7(5-)
It can really make me cry
E/B A/B
Just like before
E7M E F#m/E
It's yesterday once more
B E
E|-v| ery sha-la-la-la
[Refrão] (repetir)
