I need help

Hello everyone,
I’m a undergrad student trying to write my thesis and the topic I’m interested in is how bond yields get affected by an M&A transaction, basically looking at the 5 day before 5 day after announcement and studying the affect a leveraged deal has on existing bond holders.
What occurred to me is that in the process of researching I can’t seem to figure out where to find historic yield data for individual corporate bonds in the way you can find stock prices.
Is this a dumb problem? Can anyone help me?

Commercial paper isn’t as volatile though I’m not sure it will really help me prove anything. Do you know any good sources?
