When I was seventeen it was a very good year 
       Em    
It was a very good year  
    G            F 
For small town girls and soft summer nights 
  E 
We'd hide from the lights 
    D                 E 
On the village green when I was seventeen 
        Em              F 
When I was twentyone, it was a very good year 
       Em 
It was a very good year 
    G           F 
For city girls who lived up the stair 
  E 
With perfumed hair  
   D                E 
That came undone, when I was twenty-one 
        Em             F 
When I was thirty-five it was a very good year 
       Em 
It was a very good year 
   G              F 
For blue blooded girls of independant means 
   E 
We'd ride in limousines 
       D                       E 
Their chauffeurs would drive when I was thirty-five 
         Em                 F 
But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of the year 
     Em 
And now I think of my life 
    G             F 
As vintage wine from the old kegs  
      E 
From the brim to the dregs 
         D               E 
It poured sweet and clear, it was a very good year
