[Verse 1]
E G#m/D# When I was young I'd listen to the radio C#m C#m/B Waiting for my favorite songs Amaj7 G#m7 When they played I'd sing along Bdim7 F#m7 | B7/D# A/B | It made me smile (link) (see above)

E G#m/D# Those were such happy times and not so long ago C#m C#m/B Amaj7 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 Amaj7 F#m7 B All the songs I love so well
[Chorus]
A/B B E C#m E C#m Ev -ry sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines E Every shing-a-ling-a-ling C#m F#m7 B That they're startin' to sing so fine A/B B C#m When they get to the part Caug Where he's breaking her heart E/B A#m7-5 It can really make me cry E/B Just like before A/B Emaj7 It's yesterday once more

[Verse 4]
E G#m/D# It was songs of love that I would sing to then C#m C#m/B Amaj7 And I'd memorize each word D#m7-5 G#7 C#m C#m/B Those old melodies still sound so good to me Amaj7 F#m7 A/B As they melt the years away
