G Em x2 G Em G Em Seems like yesterday I was here G Em G Em Dreaminʼ my life away and drinkinʼ beer C G Em G Em Staying up till dawn strumminʼ on guitars C G Em G Em Sleepinʼ all day long just like the big rock stars D C G Em G Em Barely livinʼ on money from tip jars I had a little place just up the block Had me a French girlfriend I loved the way she talked We spent our afternoons watchinʼ the TV Findinʼ things to do that we could do for free When we split up she said you donʼt do enough for me Chorus: C D G C D G I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime C D G Em G Em I had robbed myself of all my precious time Had my first gig here in the neighborhood We had a little band I thought was good Hocked my old shotgun bought a used P.A. We got a quart of rum drank it all that day When the big gig come we were just to drunk to play Chorus. Sometimes I canʼt believe those days are gone Most of my friends back then have moved along Oneʼs in Hollywood oneʼs a millionaire Some are gone for good some still livinʼ here Me Iʼm just the same lost in a crowd Lookinʼ for the rain in a thunder cloud I have moved around but it donʼt matter though One thing I have found there are just two ways to go It all comes down to livinʼ fast or dyinʼ slow Chorus. Seems like yesterday, just like yesterday
