verse 1 

C                F                  C         F  G 
When I was ten I kissed the vicar's daughter 
   C              F                 G 
At fourteen I was holding someone's hand 
   C               F               C        F  G 
At fifteen I tried things I didn't oughta 
    F               G               C 
And now I'm getting near to wedding plans 


verse 2 

C                   F               C         F  G 
But still somehow I miss my vicar's daughter 
  C                    F                 G 
I chased her round the church to steal a kiss 
    C             F            C           F  G 
And I can see her smiling as I caught her 
    F            G                 C 
Her innocence is something I still miss 


Bridge 

Dm          G    Dm               G 
No one ever will give me half the thrill 
      C    G        C 
I got that summer's day 
Dm             G     Dm            G 
She was just a child I was running wild  
Am            D       G 
looking for a game to play 


verse 3 

    C       F               C         F  G 
Has anybody seen my vicar's daughter 
C                   F            G 
Perhaps now she's a woman of the world 
    C              F          C           F  G 
But if you see her tell her I adored her 
     F                 G               C      F  G 
That summer's day when I was ten years old 
     F                 G               C      F  G 
That summer's day when I was ten years old 
     F                 G               C      F  G 
That summer's day when I was ten years old
