It Was A Very Good Year chords
The Turtles 1965 (Erwin Drake 1961)

Capo III

Bm F#

           BmWhen I was seventeen
         CIt was a very good year
         Bm                 DIt was a very good year for small town girls
    CAnd soft summer nights
     BWe d hide from the lights
       AOn the village green
           BWhen I was seventeen

Bm F#

           BmWhen I was twenty-one
         C  It was a very good year
         Bm                 DIt was a very good year for city girls
    CWho lived up the stair
     BWith perfumed hair
     Athat came undone
           BWhen I was twenty-one

Bm F#

            BmBut now the days grow short
           CI'm in the autumn of the year
    Bm                        DAnd now I think of my life as vintage wine
     Cfrom fine old kegs
         Bfrom the brim to the dregs
     AIt s oh sweet and clear
         B              AIt was a very good year
         B              AIt was a very good year
         B              AIt was a very good year  . . .
