“Yesterday” is the most covered song in history, with over 2,000 versions having been recorded. A spare, haunting song of lost love from the early Beatles catalog, it was sung perfectly by a young Paul McCartney.
McCartney dreamed the entire melody before he arranged the music with George Martin....
[Verse 1]
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
[Verse 2]
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
[Bridge]
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
[Verse 3]
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
[Bridge]
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
[Verse 3]
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
[Outro]
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, hmm-hmm

Paul about his arguably most famous song:
My dad used to know a lot of old jazz tunes, I thought maybe I’d just remembered it from the past… We were a little embarrassed about it. We were a rock & roll band… the most complete song I have ever written.
On a September 2018 interview with WIRED, Paul Mccartney explained:
Great thing about “Yesterday” was, it kind of wrote itself. People say to me, “Do you believe in mysticism and magic?” With that story, I kind of have to, because I just woke up one morning and I had [the melody playing in my head]...
