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

[Refrão]
            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
