The intro-outro works well between verses.
It can also be played an octave higher
6 -5 6 -3 6 -5 6 -6 6 -5
6 -5 6 5 5 5*
When I was sev-en-teen
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
It was a ver-y good year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5*
It was a ver-y good year
-5* -6 -5* -5-5 -7 -7
for small town girls
-8 8 -7 -7
And soft sum-mer nights
8 -7 7 7 7
We’d hide from the lights
-7* -7 -6* -6* -6*
On the vil-lage green
-7 -7 7 6 6
When I was sev-en-teen
6 -6* 7 -6* -5 -5
When I was twen-ty-one
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
It was a ver-y good year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5*
It was a ver-y good year
-5* -6 -5* -5-5 -7 -7
for cit-y girls
-8 8 -7 -7
Who lived up the stair
8 -7 7 7 7
With per-fumed hair
-7* -7 -6* 6* -6*
And it came un-done
-7 -7 7 6 6
When I was twen-ty-one
6 -6* 7 -6* -5 -5
When I was thir-ty-five
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
It was a ver-y good year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5*
It was a ver-y good year
-5* -6 -5* -5-5 -7 -7
for blue-blood-ed girls
-8 8 -7 -7 -7
Of in-de-pen-dent means
8 -7 -7 7 7 7
We’d ride in lim-ou-sines
-7* -7 -7 -6* -6* -6*
Their chauf-feurs would drive
-7 -7 7 6 6
When I was thir-ty-five
6 -6* 7 -6* -5 -5
But now the days grow short
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
I’m in the aut-umn of the year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5* -5*
And now I think of my life
-5* -6 -5* -5 -5 -7 -7
as vin-tage wine
-8 8 -7 -7
From fine old kegs
8 -7 77 7
From the brim to the dregs
-7* -7* -7 -6* -6* -6*
It poured sweet and clear
-7 7 6 6 6
It was a ver-y good year
6 -6* 7 -6*-6* -5 -5
6 -5 6 -3 6 -5 6 -6 6 -5
6 -5 6 5 5 5*
