G     G7
Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
                                 Am         Cm
we know each other since we were nine or ten
                                 G    G7
together we've climbed hills and trees
                      A7
learned of love and ABCs
D7                                 G
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

II:

                           G  G7
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die 
                               Am        Cm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
                              G   G7
now that the spring is in the air,
                      A7
pretty girls are everywhere
D7                      G
think of me and I'll be there

CHORUS:

       G
We had joy, we had fun
       C              Am
we had seasons in the sun
        D7
but the hills we used to climb
                         G
were just seasons out of time...
        G
All the lies we had found
       C              Am
we had seasons in the sun
        D7
but the hills we used to climb
                         D# - F - G
were just seasons out of time...

III:

                             G  G7
Adieu, papa, please pray for me
                             Am    D#
I was the black-sheep of the family
                                 G    G7
you tried to teach me right from wrong
                           A7
too much wine and too much song
D7                 G
I wonder how I got along

IV:

                           G  G7
Adieu, papa, it's hard to die 
                               Am        Cm
when all the birds are singing in the sky
                              G   G7
now that the spring is in the air,
                      A7
pretty girls are everywhere
D7                      G
think of me and I'll be there

Repeat Chorus

V:
                             G   G7
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife
                            Am         Cm
Without you, I could have a lonely life
                               G   G7
you cheated lots of times, but then
                     A7
I forgave you in the end
D7                       G
though your lover was my friend!...
