Liz Damon's Orient Express was a 1970s soft rock band from Hawaii, and their biggest hit was "1900 Yesterday," which was released in early 1971. I like this song and have wanted to try a ukulele cover of it for a long time. I'm glad I finally got it done. Hope you like my rendition!
intro: Gmaj7
[Gmaj7] Where's the love that we knew? Is it gone?
Or have you [Em] thrown it away?
[C] Why the joy that we shared [A7] I feel sure
is not [G] here anymore?
Like [C] smoke from a cigarette
[A7] dreams that you soon forget, it's [G] fading away
and it's [Am] nineteen [D7] hundred [Gmaj7] yesterday
[Gmaj7] I thought you felt the same, tell me who
[Em] who's to blame?
The [C] broken heart you've given me
[A7] all the hurt and misery
Where did [G] I go wrong?
Like [C] smoke from a cigarette
[A7] dreams that you soon forget and [G] night has no day
and it's [Am] nineteen [D7] hundred [Gmaj7] yesterday
//: G Em Am D7 :// Em - C - Em - C G /
[Gmaj7] Where's the love that we knew? Is it gone?
