Chords and Lyrics
Verse 1:
G Em C D Am7 D7 G
She... was only six-teen, only six-teen, I loved her so.
G Em C D Am7 D7 G
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
Verse 2:
G Em C D
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do the little things,
Am7 D7 G
That made my heart glow.
G Em C D Am7 D7 G
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
Bridge 1:
Am7 D7 G Em
Why did I give my heart so fast?
Am7 D7 G
It never will happen a-gain.
Am7 D7 G Em
But I was a mere lad of six-teen;
A7 D7
I've aged a year since then.
Verse 3:
G Em C D Am7 D7 G
She was only six-teen, only six-teen, with eyes that would glow.

But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
Bridge 2:
Am7 D7 G Em
(Then why did you give your heart so fast?)
Am7 D7 G
It never will happen a-gain.
Am7 D7 G Em
(But you were a mere lad of six-teen);
A7 D7
I've aged a year since then.
Verse 4:
G Em C D Am7 D7 G
She was only six-teen, only six-teen, with eyes that would glow.

But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
G Em C D Am7 D7 G
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
