INTRO
Fmaj7      Cmaj7    Fmaj7         G
Once I was young    yesterday, perhaps 
Fmaj7                Cmaj7     Fmaj7          G
Danced with Jill and Jane just like the other chaps.
Am7        Ddim        Am7         Ddim   
Once I was young,  but never was naive.
  Fmaj7           Dm7             G            Am  
I thought I had a trick or two up my imaginary sleeve.
          Ddim         C  Ddim  Am7  Fdim7
And now I know I was naive.

 
VERSE 1   
Fmaj7 G        Ddim              Am7 Fmaj7 G       Dm7
I       didn't know what time it was then    I met you.
Gm7  A        Am7            G    Fmaj7          Cmaj7sus4   Dm7  Fdim7
Oh,    what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was         too!


VERSE 2
Fmaj7 G        Ddim             Am7   Fmaj7  G        Dm7
I       didn't know what day it was - you      held my hand.
Gm7  A          Am7             G    Fmaj7           Cmaj7sus4 Gm7   C7
Warm   like the month of May it was, and I'll say it was       grand.

   
CHORUS
Amaj7    Dm/e   Ddim        G            Ddim       G     A   Am7  Ddim  Cmaj7  C7
Grand to be a - live, to be young, to be mad, to be yours a - lone!
Amaj7    Dm/e     Dm7             G                Dm7           Ddim  Am7  G  Am7  Ddim  Ebdim
Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear your voice say I'm all   your own.


VERSE 3
Fmaj7 G        Ddim              Am7   Fmaj7 G        Dm7
I       didn't know what year it was - life    was no prize.
Gm7 A        Am7              G   Fmaj7          Cmaj7sus4 G       Fm
I     wanted love and here it was shining out of your      eyes.   I'm

wise,  And I   know what time it is now.
