This is my best interpretation of this song per the record.
I hope you enjoy it. Though I can sing this song as is, I
often transpose it to C which is more inline with my vocals.

Played in A chord.
Capo on 2nd Fret to play with youtube song at link below this song.

#1:
A E A A7
When I get to thinking about the past
D A
and all of the good things that were too good to last
A F#m D E
I cry in my heart for each little part
A
of yesterday's love
D A E
(background vocals) yesterday's love

#2:
A E A A7
A few tender moments when heaven was mine
D A
the vows that you whispered with each kiss was divine
A F#m D E
how empty they seem they're lost in a dream
A
with yesterday's love
D A A7
(background vocals) yesterday's love

D E A
somewhere I lost you along the way
E A A7
lost without knowing the price that I'd pay
D A
I can't help but wonder how things would have been
B7 E E7
if I could start over and try it again

#3:
A E A A7
but love has its problems and bridges to burn
D A E
you have to cross over and you never return
A F#m D E
for dreams have their day and then fade away
A D A
with yesterday's love, --yesterday's love
