1. When I was seventeen, it was a very good year,
                  Dm                                                         D#
    it was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights.
               D                                       C
    We'd hide from the lights on the village green.
                         D              - C - A7
    when I was seventeen.
 
                          Dm                          D#
2. When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year,
                          Dm                                      D#
    it was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair.
              D                            C
    with perfumed hair, that came undone, 
                           D               - C - A7
    when I was twenty-one.

3. When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year,
                  Dm
    it was a very good year for blue blooded girls
        D#
    of independent means.
               D                                            C
    We'd ride in limousines, their chauffeurs would drive.
                  D                     - C - A7
    when I was thirty-five.
 
                        Dm                                    D#
4. But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of  the year.
              Dm                                                    D#
    and I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs.
                      D                             C
    From the brim to the dregs, it poured sweet and clear,
                                     D     - C - D
    it was a very good year.
