She was only sixteen, only sixteen,
                                   F 
But I loved her so,
                                             Bb             C 
She was too young to fall in love,
         Bb         C                       F 
And I was too young to know,
               F 
We'd laugh and we'd sing,
         Bb               C  Bb 
and do funny things,
                                                   F 
And it made our hearts glow,

         Bb         C                       F

So why did I give my heart so fast,
         Bb                                 F 
It never will happen again,
         Bb                         F 
But I was a mere child of sixteen,
                                       C(hºld)

 Bb                                                 F 
Oh, with eyes that would glow,
                                             Bb             C 
She was too young to fall in love,
         Bb         C                       F 
And I was too young to know,
         Bb                                 F 
So why did I give my heart so fast,
         Bb                                 F 
It never will happen again,
         Bb                         F 
But I was a mere child of sixteen,
   Bb(hºld)                            C(hºld) 
I've aged a year since then,
                   F                         Bb       C  Bb 
She was only sixteen, only sixteen,

                                             Bb             C 
She was too young to fall in love,
         Bb         C                       F 
And I was too young to know.
