C            Am            F    
She was only seventeen and he 
           G
was one year more.
C                  Am            
She loved him with all her heart 
    F
and he, the girl
 G
adored.
    C                   C7        
But all their friends believed 
           F
they were too young
            Fm
to know the score..
      C            Am            
cause she was only seventeen and 
F      G        C
he was one year more.

C            Am                F
Are they old enough to know if 
         G        C
love will last for life?
Continues after the ad
C            Am            F    
Isn't he too young to be a 
    G     C
husband, her a wife?
    C             C7              
Within the past I bet it's 
  F                Fm
happened more than once before.
     C                Am       
When someone else was seventeen, 
   F       G        C
another, one year more.

Do we have the right to question 
G
love that seems so strong?
G                  D             
As long as God has no objections 
G               G7
there can be no wrong.

C             Am                 
Let us be the first to wish them 
F            G
all the very best.
C                 Am             
Let us hope their love is strong 
F                  G
enough to meet the test.
      C             C7     
Cause like I say, I bet it's 
           F                Fm
happened more than once before.
