I:
E E7
Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
F#m Am
we know each other since we were nine or ten
E E7
together we've climbed hills and trees
F#7
learned of love and ABCs
B7 E
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
II:
E E7
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
F#m Am
when all the birds are singing in the sky
E E7
now that the spring is in the air,
F#7
pretty girls are everywhere
B7 E
think of me and I'll be there
CHORUS:
E
We had joy, we had fun
A F#m
we had seasons in the sun
B7
but the hills we used to climb
E
were just seasons out of time...
E
All the lies we had found
A F#m
we had seasons in the sun
B7
but the hills we used to climb
C - D - E
were just seasons out of time...
III:
E E7
Adieu, papa, please pray for me
F#m C
I was the black-sheep of the family
E E7
you tried to teach me right from wrong
F#7
too much wine and too much song
B7 E
I wonder how I got along
IV:
E E7
Adieu, papa, it's hard to die
F#m Am
when all the birds are singing in the sky
E E7
now that the spring is in the air,
F#7
pretty girls are everywhere
B7 E
think of me and I'll be there
Repeat Chorus
V:
E E7
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife
F#m Am
Without you, I could have a lonely life
E E7
you cheated lots of times, but then
F#7
I forgave you in the end
B7 E
though your lover was my friend!...
Repeat Chorus
