Yesterday When I Was Young - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
"Hier Encore" was written by Charles Aznavour in 1964, to music composed by Georges Diran Garvarentz (1932-1993), and Kretzmer wrote the english lyrics in '69. The song has been translated into several other languages, but the english version has been recorded by the greatest variety of artists. It's among the most wanted funeral songs in the world. I want this myself: it is exactly what I feel at the end of the line.Am D7 yesterday when I was young Gmaj7 Fmaj7 the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue Am Am7 B7 I teased at life as if it were a foolish game Em Cmaj7 E7 the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame Am C D7 the thousand dreams I dreamed the splendid things I planned Gmaj7 Cmaj7 I always built alas on weak and shifting sand Fmaj7 B7 I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day Em Cmaj7 E7 and only now I see how the years ran away
