  A7      E7   E7/9    A7
I do re - mem - ber 

          E7    E7/9        A     A6  A7   A    D6 
When the sun - light had a spec - ial kind of brightness

         B7      Cdim   B7     Bm7-5          E7
And the laughter held a lover's kind of lightness -- 

Fdim    A7   Em7  A7  A7+5    D6   Cdim   Em7   A7
Yellow days,         yellow days.


  A7      E7   E7/9    A7
She would hold me 

         E7    E7/9        A     A6  A7 A      D6 
And the smile would spread a - round us so completely

         B7     Cdim   B7       Bm7-5    E7
And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly -- 

Fdim    A7  Em7  A7  A7+5    D6   Fdim  A7  Fdim  D    
Yellow days,         yellow days.


     D7        B7           Cdim      B7      Cdim
But then came thunder and I heard her say "goodbye"

         E7       A6
Through tears of wonder, 

    Am               Cdim            G   G/F#
Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know

E7/9      E7    Bm7-5       A7
Yel - low days, where'd you go?


 A7     E7   E7/9    A7
Life is emp - ty 

        E7    E7/9        A        A6    A7   A   D6 
And the sun - light seems so harsh in - stead of tender

          B7       Cdim     B7 Bm7-5    E7
And the laughter's just an echo  I re - mem - ber --

     Fdim    A7  Em7  A7  A7+5    D6   Fdim  A7  Fdim  G   Edim   
From yellow days,         yellow days,

Fdim       D    Em7  A7+5  D
Yel - low days.
