E7 D9 Fdim A F#m G#m7 C#m
When I was young I'd listen to the ra - di - o
F#m C#7 F#m F#m7/E
Waitin' for my fav'rite songs
D9 DM7 D9 D6 C#m G#m D6 Bm7-5 E
When they played I'd sing a - long, it made me smile
D9 A F#m G#m7 C#m
Those were such happy times and not so long a - go.
F#m C#7 F#m F#m7/E
How I wondered where they'd gone
G#m C#7 F#m F#m/E D9 Bm
But they're back a - gain just like a long lost friend.
DM7 F#m Bm7-5 E7
All the songs I love so well
Refrain:
D9 E A9 A F#m Fdim D9 E7/9 E7/6 A F#m D9 E7
Ev'ry sha la la la, ev' - ry wo wo wo still shines
D9 E A9 A F#m Fdim D9 E7/9 E7/6 A F#m D9 E7
Ev'ry shing a ling a ling that they're starting to sing so fine
F#m Cdim E7 F#m B7
When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart
Cdim A C#m7-5 F#m Cdim AM7 F#m D9
It can really make me cry just like before
E7/6 Fdim AM7
It's yesterday once more.
F#m D9 E7 AM7 F#m D9 E7
(Shoo-bie do lang lang Shoo-bie do lang lang)
E7 D9 A F#m G#m7 C#m
Look - in' back on how it was in years gone by
F#m C#7 F#m F#m7/E
And the good times that I had
D9 DM7 D9 D6 C#m G#m D6 Bm7-5 E
Make to - day seem rath - er sad, so much has changed
D9 A F#m G#m7 C#m
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
F#m C#7 F#m F#m7/E
And I'd mem - o - rize each word
G#m C#7 F#m F#m/E D9 Bm
Those old mel - o - dies still sound so good to me
DM7 F#m Bm7-5 E7
As they melt the years a - way.
