            It Was A Very Good Year chords for acoustic guitar
Frank Sinatra 1965 (Ervin Drake) **

Dm  A

           Dm
When I was seventeen
         Eb *
It was a very good year
         Dm                 F
It was a very good year for small town girls
    Eb
And soft summer nights
     D
We’d hide from the lights
       C
On the village green
           D
When I was seventeen

Dm  A

           Dm
When I was twenty-one
         Eb  
It was a very good year
         Dm                 F
It was a very good year for city girls
    Eb
Who lived up the stair
              D
With all that perfumed hair
       C
and it came undone
           D
When I was twenty-one

Dm A

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

Dm A

            Dm
But now the days are short
           Eb
I'm in the autumn of the year
    Dm                  F
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
     Eb
from fine old kegs
         D
from the brim to the dregs
     C
It’s oh sweet and clear
         D              
It was a very good year

Dm  A
