 Capo III
 
 Bm F# 
   
            Bm       
 When I was seventeen
          C             
 It was a very good year
          Bm                 D               
 It was a very good year for small town girls
     C                 
 And soft summer nights
      B                   
 We d hide from the lights
        A            
 On the village green
            B        
 When I was seventeen
 
 Bm F# 
   
            Bm        
 When I was twenty-one
          C             
 It was a very good year
          Bm                 D         
 It was a very good year for city girls
     C                 
 Who lived up the stair
      B            
 With perfumed hair
      A          
 that came undone
            B         
 When I was twenty-one
 
 Bm F# 
   
             Bm             
 But now the days grow short
            C                 
 I'm in the autumn of the year
     Bm                        D           
 And now I think of my life as vintage wine
 C 
  
 B 
  
      A                 
 It s oh sweet and clear
          B             A 
 It was a very good year
          B             A 
 It was a very good year
          B              A     
 It was a very good year  . . .
