[verse: 1]
             Dm
When I was seventeen
         Eb 
It was a very good year
         Dm                   F
It was a very good year for 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     Fmaj7   Am     A   
      xx0231  xx3210 x02210 x02220
 
[verse: 2]
           Dm
When I was twenty-one
         Eb  
It was a very good year
         Dm                  F
It was a very good year for city girls
      Eb
Who lived up the stair
                 D
With all that perfumed hair
        C
and it came undone
               D
When I was twenty-one

[: ] |Dm    |Dm    |Am    |Am   A  |

[verse: 3]
             Dm
When I was thirty-five
         Eb
It was a very good year
         Dm                   F
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
        Eb
Of independent means
      D
We'd ride in limousines
         C
Their chauffeurs would drive
             D
When I was thirty-five

[: ] |Dm    |Dm    |Am    |Am   A  |

[verse: 4]
            Dm
But now the days are short
           Eb
I'm in the autumn of my year
    Dm                  F
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
     Eb
from fine old kegs
         D
from the brim to the dregs
     C
It pore sweet and clear
         D              
It was a very good year

[coda: ]  |Dm    |Dm    |Am    |Am   A  |
