1969
I:
G+G G7G7
Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
A minorAm C minorCm
we know each other since we were nine or ten
G+G G7G7
together we've climbed hills and trees
A7A7
learned of love and ABCs
D7D7 G+G
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
II:
G+G G7G7
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
A minorAm C minorCm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
G+G G7G7
now that the spring is in the air,
A7A7
pretty girls are everywhere
D7D7 G+G
think of me and I'll be there
CHORUS:
G+G
We had joy, we had fun
C majorC A minorAm
we had seasons in the sun
D7D7
but the hills we used to climb
G+G
were just seasons out of time...
G+G
All the lies we had found
C majorC A minorAm
we had seasons in the sun
D7D7
but the hills we used to climb
D#D# - FF - G+G
were just seasons out of time...
III:
G+G G7G7
Adieu, papa, please pray for me
A minorAm D#D#
I was the black-sheep of the family
G+G G7G7
you tried to teach me right from wrong
A7A7
too much wine and too much song
D7D7 G+G
I wonder how I got along
IV:
G+G G7G7
Adieu, papa, it's hard to die
A minorAm C minorCm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
G+G G7G7
now that the spring is in the air,

pretty girls are everywhere
D7D7 G+G
think of me and I'll be there
Repeat Chorus
V:
G+G G7G7
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife
A minorAm C minorCm
Without you, I could have a lonely life
G+G G7G7
you cheated lots of times, but then

I forgave you in the end
D7D7 G+G
though your lover was my friend!...
Repeat Chorus
