           Dm         F Dm A
When I was seventeen

         Eb              Gm Eb Gm
It was a very good year

         Dm         F        Dm               F
It was a very good year for small town girls

Eb     Gm                  Eb Gm
-- And soft summer nights

   Dm    F                Dm F
We hided from the lights

        C
On the village green

     D
When I was seventeen
[Interlude] | Eb | D | Gm | A | [Verse 2]
           Dm
When I was twenty-one

         Eb
It was a very good year

         Dm
It was a very good year for city girls

    Eb
Who lived upstairs

      D
With all that perfumed hair

        C
And it came undone

            D
When I was twenty-one
[Interlude] | Dm | Dm | Ab | Fm7 | | Am | A | [Verse 3]
           Dm
When I was thirty-five

         Eb
It was a very good year

         Dm
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls

       Eb
Of independent means

      D
We'd ride in limousines

            C
And their chauffeurs would drive

            D
When I was thirty-five
[Interlude ] | C | C | D | D | | Am | A | [Verse 4]
             Dm
But now the days grow short

           Eb
I'm in the autumn of the year

           Dm
And now I think of my life as vintage wine

      Eb
From fine old kegs

          D
From the brim to the dregs

        C
And it poured sweet and clear

          D
It was a very good year

          C
It was a very good year

          D
It was a very good year
