1969 I: G G7 Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend Am Cm we know each other since we were nine or ten G G7 together we've climbed hills and trees A7 learned of love and ABCs D7 G skinned our hearts and skinned our knees II:
G G7 Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die Am Cm when all the birds are singing in the sky G G7 now that the spring is in the air, A7 pretty girls are everywhere D7 G think of me and I'll be there CHORUS: G We had joy, we had fun C Am we had seasons in the sun D7 but the hills we used to climb G were just seasons out of time... G All the lies we had found C Am we had seasons in the sun D7 but the hills we used to climb D# - F - G were just seasons out of time... III: G G7 Adieu, papa, please pray for me Am D# I was the black-sheep of the family G G7 you tried to teach me right from wrong A7 too much wine and too much song D7 G I wonder how I got along IV: G G7 Adieu, papa, it's hard to die Am Cm when all the birds are singing in the sky G G7 now that the spring is in the air, A7 pretty girls are everywhere D7 G think of me and I'll be there Repeat Chorus V: G G7 Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife Am Cm Without you, I could have a lonely life G G7 you cheated lots of times, but then A7 I forgave you in the end D7 G though your lover was my friend!...
