When I look back upon my life
6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 -7 -6
It’s always with a sense of shame
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6
I’ve alway’s been the one to blame
-6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 7 -7
For ev’ry thing I long to do
6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 -7 -6
No matter when or where or who
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
Has one thing in common too
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 6 -6
It’s a, It’s a, It’s a — It’s a sin, It’s a sin

Then Verse 2 (same tune)

-6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7
Ev’ry thing I’ve ever done
-6 -7 -7 -7 -7-7 -7
Ev’ry thing I ever do
-6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7
Ev’ry place I’ve ever been
-6 -7 -7 -7 -7-7 7
Ev’ry where I’m going to
7 -7 -6 7 -7 -6
It’s a sin, It’s a sin

7 7 7 -8 7 6 6 6 6 -6 6
Father forgive me, I tried not to do it
4 -7 -7 -7 7 -7
Turned over a new leaf
5 5 5 -5 5
Then tore right through it
4 7 7 7 -8 7
What ever you taught me
6 6 6 6 -6 6
I didn’t believe it
-7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 -7 7 -8 7
Father you fought me ‘cause I didn’t care
-6 7 8 8 8 8 -8
And I still don’t understand

Then Verse 3 (same tune)

Verse 2
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn’t quite succeed
For ev’ry thing I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
It’s a, It’s a, It’s a — It’s a sin, It’s a sin

Verse 3
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I’ve always been the one to blame
For ev’ry thing I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
It’s a, It’s a, It’s a — It’s a sin, It’s a sin

who is bound he’ll be heard,

4 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
Is throw-ing his heart at the sky.

I think I am fall-ing in love.

Fall-ing, fall-ing in love.

My days and nights

When I was sev-en-teen
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
It was a ver-y good year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5*
It was a ver-y good year
-5* -6 -5* -5-5 -7 -7
for small town girls

And soft sum-mer nights

We’d hide from the lights

On the vil-lage green

When I was sev-en-teen
6 -6* 7 -6* -5 -5

When I was twen-ty-one
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
It was a ver-y good year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5*
It was a ver-y good year
-5* -6 -5* -5-5 -7 -7
for cit-y girls
-8 8 -7 -7
Who lived up the stair
8 -7 7 7 7
With per-fumed hair
-7* -7 -6* 6* -6*
And it came un-done
-7 -7 7 6 6
When I was twen-ty-one
6 -6* 7 -6* -5 -5

When I was thir-ty-five
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
It was a ver-y good year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5*
It was a ver-y good year
-5* -6 -5* -5-5 -7 -7
for blue-blood-ed girls
-8 8 -7 -7 -7
Of in-de-pen-dent means
8 -7 -7 7 7 7
We’d ride in lim-ou-sines
-7* -7 -7 -6* -6* -6*
Their chauf-feurs would drive
-7 -7 7 6 6
When I was thir-ty-five

But now the days grow short
-3 -4 5* -5 -7 -7
I’m in the aut-umn of the year
-6 7 -7 7 7 -5* -5* -5*
And now I think of my life
-5* -6 -5* -5 -5 -7 -7
as vin-tage wine
-8 8 -7 -7
From fine old kegs
8 -7 77 7
From the brim to the dregs
-7* -7* -7 -6* -6* -6*
It poured sweet and clear

I feel like running away from it all.

6 5 -4 4 -4 5
My love has been untrue.

4 -5 6 -6 -5
I feel like praying,

saying I’m glad we’re through.

It’s been a blue, blue day,

I don’t know why

You think that you could hold me
5 5 -5 6 5 -5 6 -6 6
When you couldn’t get by by yourself
4 4 -4 5 -4
And I don’t know who
-4 -4 -4 5 6 5 4 -3″ 5 -4 4 3
Would ever want to tear the seam of someone’s dream
-8 -8, -7 -7, -7 -6 -7 -6 -7 7 -7 -6
Baby, it’s fine, you said that we should just be friends
6, 5 5 -5 6 5 -5 6 -6 6
Well, I came up with that line and I’m sure
4 4 -4 5 -4
That it’s for the best

If you ever change your mind, don’t hold your breath

It’s a beautiful day and I can’t stop myself from smiling
6 -6 7 -5, 6 -6 6 5
If we’re drinking, then I’m buying
6 -6 7 -5 6 -6 6 7
And I know there’s no denying
8 8 8 -8 9 10, -9 9 -8 8, -5 6 -6 6 5
It’s a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music’s playing

Walking with that troublesome guy
But they’re just afraid of
Something they can’t understand
