And soft summer nights 
           E                                                       D 
We'd hide from the lights on the village green
                         E 
When I was seventeen.

Who lived up the stairs

With perfumed hair that came undone
                         E 
When I was twenty-one.

Of independent means 
               E                                                           D 
We're ride in limousines that their chauffeurs would drive

And now the days are short,                   I'm in the autumn of my years,
                       Em                 Em/F#           G 
And now I think of my life as   vintage wines
         F                       Fm7/6   F 
In fine old kegs 
                     E                                             D 
From the brim to the dregs, they pour sweet and clear...
                     E 
It was a very good year.
