4   4 -4   5    6    6  5  6   5  -665
When I was young I'd listen to the radio

 5  6   -6  -7  5   6   -6
Waiting for my fav'rite songs.

 5    6    -6     8  -8   7 -7
When they played I'd sing along--

6   5    6  5-4
It made me smile.

 4     4   -4   5  6   6
Those were such happy times

 5   6  5  -6   6 5
And not so long ago

5   6 -6  -7    5     6     -6
How I wondered where they'd gone.

-7   -8      7  -7 -6
But they're here again,

-7    7  -7   7   -7   -6
Just like a long-lost friend

-6  -7   7    7  -6    7 -8
All the songs I loved so well.

7 -8   8  8  8  8
Ev'ry sha la la la;

-8 7  -7 7  -7 -6   5      6
Ev'ry wo oh oh oh still shines.

7 -8    8   8  8    8
Ev'ry shing a ling ling

-8     7     -7  7    -7  -6   5   6
That they're starting to sing, so fine.

 6    -7   7 -7   7  -8
When they get to the part

 7    -7    7  -7    7  -8
Where he's breaking her heart

7  -8   8  8   -8  7   -6
It can really make me cry---

 5    5   -65 6
Just like before

 5    5 -4 4   -4   5 -5-4
It's yesterday once more

 5   5  5   -5   -4
shoobee do long long.

Looking back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad.
So much has changed.
It was songs of love
I would sing to them
And I'd memorize each word.
Those old melodies still sound
So good to me
As they melt the years away
Ev're sha la--la--la  etc.
