Capo 4
C Em
1. When I was young I'd listen to the radio,
Am C F
waitin' for my favorite songs,
Em Dm G Am G
when they played I'd sing along, it made me smile.
C Em
Those were such happy times and not so long ago,
Am C F
how I wondered where they'd gone.
E G Am C Am
But they're back again just like a long lost friend,
F Dm G
all the songs I loved so well.
G7 C Am C Am
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,
C Am Dm G
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine.
Am C
When they get to the part where he's breakin' her heart,
C Am C F
it can really make me cry, just like before,
F Em F Em F
it's yesterday once more (shoobidoo-lylay, shoobidoo-lylay).
C Em
2. Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by,
Am C F

and the good times that I had,
Em Dm G Am G
makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed.
C Em
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
Am C F
and I'd memorize each word,
E G Am C Am
those old melodies still sound so good to me,
F Dm G
as they melt the years away.
G7 C Am C Am
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,
C Am Dm G
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine.
Am C Am
All my best memories come back clearly to me,
C Am C Dm
some can even make me cry just like before,
F C F
it's yesterday once more (shoobidoo-lylay).
G7 C Am C Am
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,
C Am Dm G
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startin' to sing's so fine
