OK I don't know how this will work out because I copy/pasted your text and changed the chords to the ones I worked out. But here goes!!!!

YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG

Dm G Yesterday when I was young C F The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue Dm G I teased at life as if it were a foolish game C Am The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame Dm G The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned Dm E I always built alas on weak and shifting sand C F I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day C Am And only now I see how the years ran away F G Yesterday when I was young C Am So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung Dm E7 So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me C Am And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see Dm G I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out C F never stopped to think what life was all about Dm E7 And every conversation I can now recall C Am Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all Dm G Yesterday the moon was blue C Am And every crazy day brought something new to do Dm E I used my magic age as if it were a wand C Am And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond Dm E The game of love I played with arrogance and pride C F And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died Dm E7 The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away Em C Am And only I am left on stage to end the play Dm G There are so many songs in me that won't be sung C F I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue Dm E7 The time has come for me to pay for yesterday Dm E7 Am Am When I was young
