#1.
C majorC      A minorAm      FF        G+G
She was only seventeen and he was one year more.
C majorC         A minorAm        FF
She loved him with all her heart and he, the girl
 G+G
adored.
  C majorC          C7C7          FF
But all their friends believed they were too young
      F minorFm
to know the score..
   C majorC      A minorAm      FF   G+G    C majorC
cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more.

#2.
C majorC      A minorAm        FF     G+G    C majorC
Are they old enough to know if love will last for life?
C majorC      A minorAm      FF    G+G   C majorC
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
  C majorC       C7C7        FF        F minorFm
Within the past I bet it's happened more than once before.
   C majorC        A minorAm     FF    G+G    C majorC
When someone else was seventeen, another, one year more.

BRIDGE:
G+G       D MajorD         G+G
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?
G+G         D MajorD       G+G        G7G7
As long as God has no objections there can be no wrong.

#3.
C majorC       A minorAm         FF      G+G
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best.
C majorC         A minorAm       FF         G+G
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test.
   C majorC       C7C7        FF        F minorFm
Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before.
   C majorC        A minorAm      FF   G+G    C majorC
When someone else was seventeen, another, one year more.

BRIDGE:

As long as God has no objections there can be no wrong.
