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

Capo III

Bm F#

           Bm
When I was seventeen
         C
It was a very good year
         Bm                 D
It was a very good year for small town girls
    C
And soft summer nights
     B
We d hide from the lights
       A
On the village green
           B
When I was seventeen

Bm F#
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/turtles/it_was_a_very_good_year_crd.html ]
           Bm
When I was twenty-one
         C  
It was a very good year
         Bm                 D
It was a very good year for city girls
    C
Who lived up the stair
     B
With perfumed hair
     A
that came undone
           B
When I was twenty-one

Bm F#

            Bm
But now the days grow short
           C
I'm in the autumn of the year
    Bm                        D
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
     C
from fine old kegs
         B
from the brim to the dregs
     A
It s oh sweet and clear
         B              A
It was a very good year
         B              A
It was a very good year
         B              A
It was a very good year  . . .
