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