at the top of the bars.
Keep playing the chord and count out the beats until it changes

Tuning: Standard EADGBe

The song is actually played in F major (capo 5) but it sounds fine without a capo

a barre chord (355433)
as it only requires you to slide up 2 frets from the F barre chord

Verse 1:
[Play Riff 1 twice]
C         Bm7     E7                  Am       G  F
Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away,
         G*                    C
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
    Am   D7       F    C   
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
C        Bm7      E7             Am         G  F             
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
         G*              C                         
There's a shadow hanging over me,
    Am    D7        F    C              
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

[Play Riff 2 twice]
E     E7    Am  G  F                                   
Why   she   had to go,
Am Dm6            G7        C        
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
E   E7   Am    G   F                           
I   said something wrong,
Am    Dm6      G7    C                    
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide away,
    Am   D7       F    C
Oh, I believe in yesterday.


Chorus:
[Play Riff 2 twice]
E     E7    Am  G  F                    
Why   she   had to go,
Am Dm6            G7       C        
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
E   E7   Am    G   F                           
I   said something wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.
