I’m not sure how I missed “Yesterday Once More”, one of my favourite Carpenters songs and such a lovely song to play.
Not too tricky either, so another good one for beginners. Enjoy playing the letter notes 🙂

When I was young
A A-F# A F# B-A-F#
I’d listen to the radio
F#-A B ^C# F#-A B
Waitin’ for my favourite songs
F# A B ^F# ^E ^D-^C#
When they played I’d sing along
A F# A F#-E
It made me smile…
D D E F#-A A
Those were such happy times
F# A F# B A-F#
And not so long ago
F A B-^C# F# A B
How I wondered where they’d gone
^C# ^E ^D ^C#-B
But they’re back again
^C# ^D ^C# ^D ^C# B
Just like a long lost friend
B ^C# ^D ^D B ^D ^E
All the songs I love so well
^D-^E ^F#-^F#-^F#-^F#
Every sha-la-la-la
^E-^D ^C#-^D ^C#-B
Every woah woah
F# F#-A
Still shines…
^D-^E ^F#-^F#-^F#-^F#-^F#
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
^E ^D ^C#-^D ^C# B
That they started to sing
F# F#-A
So fine…
B ^C# ^D ^C# ^D ^E
When they get to the part
^D ^C# ^D-^C# ^D ^E
Where he’s breaking her heart
^D ^E ^F#-^F# ^E ^D A-B
It can really make my cry
F# F# B-F#-A
Just like before
F# F#-E-D E F#-G-E
It’s yesterday once more…
