Bm Bm   F# F#

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

Bm Bm F# F#

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

Bm Bm F# F#

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


Bm Bm F# F#

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

Bm Bm F# F#
