When [Dm] I was seventeen
It was [Eb] a very good year
It [Dm] was a very good year
For [F] small town girls
[Eb] And soft summer nights
We'd [D] hide from the lights
[C] On the village green
When [D] I was seventeen
When [Dm]
[Am]
[A]
I [Dm] was twenty-one
It [Eb] was a very good year
It [Dm] was a very good [F] year
For city girls
[Eb] Who lived up the stair
With all [D] that perfumed hair
And [Am] it [C] came undone
When I [D] was twenty-one
When
[Bm] [D] [G]
[D] [F] [Am] [A]
I was [Dm] thirty-five
It [Eb] was a very good year
It [Dm] was a very good year
[F] For blue-blooded girls
[Eb] Of independent means
[D] We'd ride in limousines
[C] Their chauffeurs would drive
When [D] I was thirty-five
But
[A] [Dm]
[G] [Gm] [A]
[Dm] now the days are short
[F]
[Am] [Eb] I'm in the autumn of the year
[Gm] [G] And now [Dm] I think of my life
[F] As vintage wine [Eb] from fine older kegs
From [D] the brim to the dregs
[C] It poured sweet and clear
[Am] It [D] was a very [Bm] good year
[D] [Dm]
