I:
D D7
Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
Em Gm
we know each other since we were nine or ten
D D7
together we've climbed hills and trees
E7
learned of love and ABCs
A7 D
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
II:
D D7
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
Em Gm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
D D7
now that the spring is in the air,
E7
pretty girls are everywhere
A7 D
think of me and I'll be there
CHORUS:
D
We had joy, we had fun
G Em
we had seasons in the sun
A7
but the hills we used to climb
D
were just seasons out of time...
D
All the lies we had found
G Em
we had seasons in the sun
A7
but the hills we used to climb
A# - C - D
were just seasons out of time...
III:
D D7
Adieu, papa, please pray for me
Em A#
I was the black-sheep of the family
D D7
you tried to teach me right from wrong
E7
too much wine and too much song
A7 D
I wonder how I got along
IV:
D D7
Adieu, papa, it's hard to die
Em Gm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
D D7
now that the spring is in the air,
E7
pretty girls are everywhere
A7 D
think of me and I'll be there
Repeat Chorus
V:
D D7
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife
Em Gm
Without you, I could have a lonely life
D D7
you cheated lots of times, but then
E7
I forgave you in the end
A7 D
though your lover was my friend!...
Repeat Chorus
