Intro: C Am F G (2x)
(Intro begins with backing vocals)

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

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

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

C             Am                 F
Let us be the first to wish them all the 
     G
very best
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
Cause like I say I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen another one year more
