Chords

Written by Baker Knight As sung by Ricky Nelson circa early to mid-1960's - This is my best interpretation of this song per the record. I hope you enjoy it. Though I can sing this song as is, I often transpose it to C which is more inline with my vocals. - Played in A chord. Capo on 2nd Fret to play with youtube song at link below this song. - - #1:
              A       E          A   A7
When I get to thinking about the past

               D                                 A
and all of the good things that were too good to last

            A   F#m               D   E
I cry in my heart for each little part

               A
of yesterday's love

                    D           A   E
(background vocals) yesterday's love
- #2:
             A      E                A   A7
A few tender moments when heaven was mine

                  D                            A
the vows that you whispered with each kiss was divine 

               A  F#m                 D    E
how empty they seem they're lost in a dream

                 A
with yesterday's love

                    D           A   A7
(background vocals) yesterday's love
- - Chorus:
            D       E          A  
somewhere I lost you along the way

             E                          A  A7
lost without knowing the price that I'd pay

                 D                            A   
I can't help but wonder how things would have been

                 B7              E    E7
if I could start over and try it again
- - #3:
                 A       E               A   A7
but love has its problems and bridges to burn

                  D                  A     E
you have to cross over and you never return

                      A F#m             D   E
for dreams have their day and then fade away 

                 A       D           A
with yesterday's love, --yesterday's love
