Sam Cooke - Only Sixteen Chords

Verse 1:

        C        Am7   Dm7      G7    Dm7 G7        C
She was only six-teen, only six-teen, and I  loved her so.
    C           Am7      Dm7     G7        Dm7       G7       C
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.

Verse 2:

     C              Am7       Dm7           G7
We'd laugh and we'd sing, and do the little things,
Dm7   G7            C
 That made my heart glow.
    C           Am7      Dm7     G7        Dm7       G7       C
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.

Bridge 1:

Dm7        G7      CM7      Am7
 Why did I give my heart so fast?
Dm7           G7     CM7    Am7
It never will happen a-gain.
    Dm7     G7   CM7        Am7
But I was a mere lad of six-teen;
 D           D7         G   G7
 I've aged a year since then.

Verse 3:

        C        Am7   Dm7      G7    Dm7   G7              C
She was only six-teen, only six-teen, with eyes that would glow.
    C           Am7      Dm7     G7        Dm7       G7       C
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.

Bridge 2:

      Dm7         G7        CM7       Am7
(Then why did you give your heart so fast?)
   Dm7        G7       CM7  Am7
It never will happen a-gain.
     Dm7        G7   CM7        Am7
(But you were a mere lad of six-teen);
D            D7         G     G7
 I've aged a year since then.

    C           Am7      Dm7     G7        Dm7       G7       C
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.

    C           Am7      Dm7     G7        Dm7       G7       C
But she was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
C            Am7      Dm7     G7        Dm7       G7       C     F  C
 She was too young to fall in love, and I was too young to know.
