	  Only Sixteen:Sam Cooke. 
#23 in 1959. 

#1. ( for original.) 
C                     F       G 
She was only sixteen, only sixteen. 
G           C 
I loved her so. 
C                        F       G 
But she was too young to fall in love, 
G                      C 
And I was too young to know. 

#2. 
C                        F             G 
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do little things, 
G                  C 
that made my heart glow. 
C                        F       G 
But she was too young to fall in love, 
G                      C 
And I was too young to know. 

Chorus: 
F         G7      C 
Why did I give my heart so fast? 
F             G7      C 
It never will happen again. 
C   F            C 
But I was a mere lad of sixteen, 
D                      G 
I've aged a year since then. 

#3. 
C                     F       G 
She was only sixteen, only sixteen, 
G                    C 
with eyes that would glow. 
C                        F       G 
But she was too young to fall in love, 
G                      C 
And I was too young to know. 

Chorus: 

REPEAT:#3. 
ADD: 
C                        F       G 
But she was too young to fall in love, 
G                      C 
And I was too young to know.(x2)Fade.
