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
