[Am] [A]
When [Dm] I was seventeen, it [Eb] was a very good year.
It was [Dm] a very good year for [F] small town girls [Eb] and soft summer nights.
[D] We'd hide from the lights [C] on the village green.
[D] When I was seventeen,
[Dm] [G]
[Dm] [Am] [A]
when I [Dm] was twenty-one,
It [Eb] was a very good year.
It [Dm] was a very good year [F] for city girls [Eb] who lived up the stair
With [D] all that perfumed hair.
[Am] And it [C]
came undone.
When I [D] was twenty-one,

[F] [Dm]
I'm [Eb] in the autumn of the year.
[Gm] [G]
And now [Dm] I think of my life [F] as vintage wine [Eb] from fine older cakes.
From [D] the brim to the dregs.
[C] It poured sweet and clear.
[Am] It [Bm] was a very good year.
