         F5             Bb5      C5    Bb5 
She was only sixteen, only sixteen, 
    C5           F5 
But I loved her so, 
                     Bb5       C5              
She was too young to fall in love, 
   Bb5     C5             F5 
And I was too young to know, 
 
 
                           Bb5            C5      Bb5 
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do funny things, 
       C5                F5 
And it made our hearts glow, 
                     Bb5       C5      
She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb5    C5              F5 
And I was too young to know, 
 

   Bb5         C5       F5 
So why did I give my heart so fast, 
    Bb5         C5      F5 
It never will happen again, 
    Bb5       C5     F5         D5 
But I was a mere child of sixteen, 
G5                      C5 
I've aged a year since then,  
 
 
         F5             Bb5      C5     
She was only sixteen, only sixteen, 
Bb5        C5               F5 
Oh, with eyes that would glow, 
                     Bb5       C5 
She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb5    C5              F5 
And I was too young to know,

She was only sixteen, only sixteen, 
Bb5          C5             F5 
Oh, but I loved that girl so, 
                     Bb5       C5 
She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb5     C5            F5 
And I was too young to know. 
                            Bb5      C5 
Yeah, She was too young to fall in love, 
    Bb5           C5                           F5    
And I was too young, I was much to young to know  
Bb5 Bb5  F5
