           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 perfumed hair

     A
that came undone

           B
When I was twenty-one
Bm F#
            Bm
But now the days grow 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              A
It was a very good year

         B              A
It was a very good year

         B              A
It was a very good year  . . .
