It Was A Very Good Year

Introdução: Em F Em G F B7 

             Em                 F 
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
