[Verse 1]
C
When I was young
Em
I'd listened to the radio
Am F
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Am Em
When they played I'd sing along
Dm G
It made me smile
C
Those were such happy times
Em
And not so long ago
Am F
How I wondered where they'd gone
E7 G Am
But they're back again
F
Just like a long lost friend
Dm G
All the songs I loved so well
[Chorus]
G7 C
(*) Every Sha-la-la-la
Am
Every Wo-wo-wo
C Am
Still shines
C
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
Am
That they're starting to sing
Dm G
So fine
[Post Chorus]
Am
When they get to the part
E+
Where he's breakin' her heart
Am7 F
It can really make me cry
Em G
Just like before
C
It's yesterday once more
[Verse 2]
C
Lookin' back on how it was
Em
In years gone by
Am F
And the good times that I had
Am Em
Makes today seem rather sad
Dm G
So much has changed
C
It was songs of love that
Em
I would sing to then
Am F
And I'd memorize each word
E7 G Am
Those old melodies
F
Still sound so good to me
Dm G
As they melt the years away
[Chorus]
G7 C
Every Sha-la-la-la
Am
Every Wo-wo-wo
C Am
Still shines
C
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
Am
That they're starting to sing
Dm G
So fine
Am
All my best memories
E+
Come back clearly to me
Am7 F
Some can even make me cry
Em G
Just like before
C
It's yesterday once more
G7 C
Every Sha-la-la-la
Am
Every Wo-wo-wo
C Am
Still shines
C
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
Am
That they're starting to sing
Dm G
So fine
G7 C
Every Sha-la-la-la
Am
Every Wo-wo-wo
C Am
Still shines
C
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
Am
That they're starting to sing
Dm G
So fine
