It Was A Very Good Year Tab par Frank Sinatra

Bm   F#

           Bm
When I was seventeen
         C
It was a very good year
         Bm                 D
It was a very good year for small town girls
    C
And soft summer nights
     B
We'd hide from the lights
       A
On the village green
           B
When I was seventeen

Bm   F#

           Bm
When I was twenty-one
         C  
It was a very good year
         Bm                 D
It was a very good year for city girls
    C
Who lived up the stair
              B
With all that perfumed hair
       A
and it came undone
           B
When I was twenty-one

Bm   F#

           Bm
When I was thirty-five
         C
It was a very good year
         Bm                 D
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
   C
Of independent means
     B
We'd ride in limousines
      A
Their chauffeurs would drive
           B
When I was thirty-five


Bm   F#

            Bm
But now the days are short
           C
I'm in the autumn of the year
    Bm                        D
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
     C
from fine old kegs
         B
from the brim to the dregs
     A
It's oh sweet and clear
         B              
It was a very good year

Bm    F#
