Seventeen Summers chords by Skinny Lister

Chords with lyrics

Probably not perfect but sounds pretty good to me.

  G+G                 C majorC
I was only a boy when the village I fled,
  C majorC               D MajorD      G+G
To some southern flung place all about I had read,
    G+G                C majorC
I said give me a year and I?ll return again,
    C majorC               D MajorD      G+G
Then a year turned to two and then two turned to ten,

           C majorC B minorBm        D MajorD
Oh and seventeen summers I gave to this city,
      C majorC B minorBm           D MajorD
With many a lover that came and then went,
             C majorC B minorBm          D MajorD
All the friends and the stories, I think of them dearly,
  G+G       C majorC       D MajorD       G+G      G,C,D,G
On these rotten streets my best days have been spent,

  G+G                C majorC
I was only a boy when to London I came,
  C majorC            D MajorD    G+G
Chancing my luck on some fortune or fame,
    G+G                 C majorC
Well still they removed me, but still I remain,
    C majorC          D MajorD       G+G
That dirty old river, it runs through my veins,


           C majorC B minorBm        D MajorD
Oh and seventeen summers I gave to this city,
      C majorC B minorBm           D MajorD
With many a lover that came and then went,
             C majorC B minorBm          D MajorD
All the friends and the stories, I think of them dearly,
  G+G       C majorC       D MajorD       G+G      G,C,D,G
On these rotten streets my best days have been spent,
