[Verse]
C
When I walk down the street,
F
See the people who stop and stare 
and say
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a
      G
 long time ago
C
When I walk down the street,
F
See the stranger who says, "Why, 
Hi,"

With a, "How you going, Buddy,"
When you walked on by I thought I'd 
G
say hello

[Pre-Chorus]
E    F    F#
They say:
G                              E 
Haven't I seen your face before
F F#

G                              
Weren't you the boy that used to 
                E F F#
live next door,
G                             
Weren't you on television ev'ry 
       E F F#
night
G
Haven't I seen you round

[Chorus]
C                                  
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's 
G
hero,
            F                     
Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll 
C
be.
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's 
G
hero,
                F                 
And yesterday's hero, is all that 
C         G
I'm gonna be
     F               G
If I don't get together,

C          G            F       
Make a new start and be somebody
     G
 better,
F             G       F         
All that I'll be if I don't get 
      G  C
together now.

[Verse]
C
When you walk down the street,
F
If you know me, then pass me by,

If you wonder what I'm doing don't 
ask me why,
        G
I don't read the news.
C
When you walk down the street,
F
If you're sorry then don't feel bad,

If you followed my story, then just 
be glad,
          G
You ain't in my shoes

[Pre-chorus]
E F  F#
Because
G                              E 
Haven't you seen my face before,
F F#

G                                 
Yes, I was the boy who used to 
           E F F#
live next door,
G                            
Yes, I was on television ev'ry 
       E F F#
night,
G
Haven't you seen me round.

[Chorus]
C                                  
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's 
G
hero,
            F                     
Yesterday's hero, that's all I'll 
C
be.
Take a look at me, I'm yesterday's 
G
hero,
                F                 
And yesterday's hero, is all that 
C         G
I'm gonna be
     F               G
If I don't get together,
C          G            F       
Make a new start and be somebody
     G
 better,
F             G       F         
All that I'll be if I don't get 
      G  C
together now.
