I:
F F7
Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
Gm A#m
we know each other since we were nine or ten
F F7
together we've climbed hills and trees
G7
learned of love and ABCs
C7 F
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
II:
F F7
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
Gm A#m
when all the birds are singing in the sky
F F7
now that the spring is in the air,
G7
pretty girls are everywhere
C7 F
think of me and I'll be there
CHORUS:
F
We had joy, we had fun
A# Gm
we had seasons in the sun
C7
but the hills we used to climb
F
were just seasons out of time...
F
All the lies we had found
A# Gm
we had seasons in the sun
C7
but the hills we used to climb
C# - D# - F
were just seasons out of time...
III:
F F7
Adieu, papa, please pray for me
Gm C#
I was the black-sheep of the family
F F7
you tried to teach me right from wrong
G7
too much wine and too much song
C7 F
I wonder how I got along
IV:
F F7
Adieu, papa, it's hard to die
Gm A#m
when all the birds are singing in the sky
F F7
now that the spring is in the air,
G7
pretty girls are everywhere
C7 F
think of me and I'll be there
Repeat Chorus
V:
F F7
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife
Gm A#m
Without you, I could have a lonely life
F F7
you cheated lots of times, but then
G7
I forgave you in the end
C7 F
though your lover was my friend!...
Repeat Chorus
