*You may find the G chord after the F chord in the 4th measure in Riff 1 easier as
a barre chord (355433)
as it only requires you to slide up 2 frets from the F barre chord
Here shows how the riffs fit in with the words:
Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Humm Hum-mm Humm Humm Humm-mm Humm
