 Capo 3rd fret – Rolf’s part
-----------------------------
[Intro]
    F                        G9
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
    Gm7/C            F6
For fate to turn the light on
     F                        G9
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
     Gm7/C            F6
That men will want to write on
            G9       C7
[Liesl:] To write on
[Verse 1]
F               C7
You are sixteen going on seventeen
F                  Dm7
Baby, it's time to think
C9                F
Better beware, be canny and careful
Gm7                 C7
Baby, you're on the brink
[Verse 2]
F               C7
You are sixteen going on seventeen
F                    Dm7
Fellows will fall in line
C9                   F
Eager young lads and roues and cads
Gm7            C9       F 
Will offer you food and wine
[Bridge 1]
Bb           Bb(b5)
Totally unprepared are you
   F7              Bb
To face a world of men
                  Bb(b5)
Timid and shy and scared are you
   F        D9        G13
Of things beyond your ken
[Chorus 1]
F                C7
You need someone older and wiser
F                   Bbm6
Telling you what to do
F              D7
I am seventeen going on eighteen
G9        C7(b9)  F
I'll take care of you

 Capo 9th fret – Liesl’s part
------------------------------
[Verse 3]
F            C7
I am sixteen going on seventeen
F                 Dm7
I know that I'm naive
C9                 F
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
    Gm7           C7
And willingly I believe
[Verse 4]
F            C7
I am sixteen going on seventeen
F             Dm7
Innocent as a rose
C9                F
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
Gm7       C9      F
What do I know of those
[Bridge 2]
Bb           Bb(b5)
Totally unprepared am I
   F7              Bb
To face a world of men
                  Bb(b5)
Timid and shy and scared am I
   F        D9      G13
Of things beyond my ken
[Chorus 2]
F              C7
I need someone older and wiser
F                  Bbm6
Telling me what to do
F                 D7
You are seventeen going on eighteen
G9     C7(b9)  F
I'll depend on you
