It Was A Very Good Year chords
Frank Sinatra (Ervin Drake) *

Em Am  Em Am G 
Em Am G  B7

           Em
When I was seventeen
         F
It was a very good year
         Em                 G
It was a very good year for small town girls
    F
And soft summer nights
    E        
Wed hide from the lights
       D
On the village green
           E
When I was seventeen

Em Am  Em Am G 
Em Am G  B7

           Em
When I was twenty-one
         F
It was a very good year
         Em                 G
It was a very good year for city girls
    F
Who lived up the stair
     E
With all that perfumed hair
       D
And it came undone
           E
When I was twenty-one

Em Am  Em Am G 
Em Am G  B7

           Em
When I was thirty-five
         F
It was a very good year
         Em                 G
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
   F
Of independent means
     E
We d ride in limousines
      D
Their chauffeurs would drive
           E
When I was thirty-five

Em Am  Em Am G 
Em Am G  B7

            Em
But now the days grow short
           F
I m in the autumn of the year
          Em                  G
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
     F
from fine old kegs
         E
from the brim to the dregs
       D
And it poured sweet and clear
         E             D
It was a very good year

         E             D
It was a very good year  3x
