When I was seventeen

On the village green

When I was seventeen

Dm
When I was twenty-one
Eb
It was a very good year

Who lived up the stair

With all that perfumed hair
C
and it came undone

When I was twenty-one

Dm
When I was thirty-five
Eb
It was a very good year

It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls

When I was thirty-five

Dm
But now the days are short
Eb
I'm in the autumn of the year
Dm F
And now I think of my life as vintage wine

from fine old kegs
D
from the brim to the dregs
C
It's oh sweet and clear
D
It was a very good year
Dm A
