           Dm
When I was seventeen
         D#
It was a very good year
         Dm                   F
It was a very good year for small town girls
    D#
And soft summer nights
      D
We’d hide from the lights
        C
On the village green
            D
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue
Blooded girls of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days are short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage
Wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
