~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.. # [2nd time fade with hums]

While touring in Paris, McCartney claims he tumbled out of bed and the tune was in his head. He thought he had heard it somewhere before, and played the melody to different people in the music industry to make sure he wasn't stealing it. The working title was "Scrambled Eggs" until Paul could figure out lyrics.
McCartney wrote some of the lyrics during a 5 hour car trip from Lisbon to Albufeira (in Algarve, south of Portugal), on the 27th of May, 1965, when he was on vacation with Jane Asher. The villa where Paul and Jane stayed was owned by Shadows' guitarist Bruce Welch. Bruce said that when he was packing to leave, Paul asked him if he had a guitar because (Paul) was working on the lyrics since the airport. Said Bruce: "He borrowed my guitar and started playing the song we all now know as 'Yesterday'."
This is the most covered pop song of all time, over 3,000 versions recorded according to The Guinness Book Of World Records. For years, it was also the song with the most radio plays, but in 1999 BMI music publishing reported that "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" had passed it. Still, at any given time, some version of "Yesterday" is probably being broadcast somewhere.
