In 1965, Paul McCartney wrote this song with an A part of seven bars and a B part of eight. That’s all. And the recording consisted of a String Quartet and McCartney Singing.
The origin of the song is a funny one. Paul McCartney thought that this song was already written and that he has remembered it, but it was all his. Then the lyrics didn’t come out (first it was a funny song). That is another argument to dissociate the relation between music and Lyrics.

The song has a very special starting bars. First the falling from the 9th to the tonic (g f f) and the harmonic melodic dorian scale (a b c#’ d’ e’ f’ e’ d’ d’). Then follows a conventional F Major tune with an odd number of bars.
To me this song is one of the best I ever heard and one of the most simple and basic melodies that really strung to our subconscious. It didn’t surprised me that McCartney suspected that he didn’t wrote the song. I think this song was about to be composed and the most talented popular music of the time get directly to the melody. It is a compendium of many wonderful clichés of the popular songs.
Here is the embed of the last performance of this song by the Beatles in 1966 in Japan.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
