I:
C C7
Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
Dm Fm
we know each other since we were nine or ten
C C7
together we've climbed hills and trees
D7
learned of love and ABCs
G7 C
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
II:
C C7
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
Dm Fm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
C C7
now that the spring is in the air,
D7
pretty girls are everywhere
G7 C
think of me and I'll be there
CHORUS:
C
We had joy, we had fun
F Dm
we had seasons in the sun
G7
but the hills we used to climb
C
were just seasons out of time...
C
All the lies we had found
F Dm
we had seasons in the sun
G7
but the hills we used to climb
G# - A# - C
were just seasons out of time...
III:
C C7
Adieu, papa, please pray for me
Dm G#
I was the black-sheep of the family
C C7
you tried to teach me right from wrong
D7
too much wine and too much song
G7 C
I wonder how I got along
IV:
C C7
Adieu, papa, it's hard to die
Dm Fm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
C C7
now that the spring is in the air,
D7
pretty girls are everywhere
G7 C
think of me and I'll be there
Repeat Chorus
V:
C C7
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife
Dm Fm
Without you, I could have a lonely life
C C7
you cheated lots of times, but then
D7
I forgave you in the end
G7 C
though your lover was my friend!...
Repeat Chorus
