Seasons in the Sun

BBBBGABB

Good-bye to you, my trust-ed friend.

BBBBB

We've known each o-ther

BCBADD

since we were nine or ten.

AAAAAGF#G

To-ge-ther we climbed hills or trees.

GABBAGA

Learned of love and A B C's,

F#F#GAAGF#

skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Verse

GBBBBGABB

Good-bye m y friend, it's hard to die,

BBBBBCBADD

when all the birds are sing-ing in the sky.

AAAAAGF#G

Now that the spring is in the air.

GABBAGA

Pret-ty girls are ev'ry where.

F#F#GAAGF#G

When you see th em I'll be there.

BCD+D+D+D+

We had joy, we had fun,

CBAGABD

we had sea-sons in the sun.

ABCCCC

But the | hills that we climbed

AGF#DF#AG

were just sea-sons out of time.

BBBB

Good-bye, Pa pa,

GABB

please pray for me,

BBBBBBCBADD

I was the black sheep of th e fam i ly.

AAAAAGF#G

You tried to teach me right from wrong.

GABBAGA

Too much wine and too much song,

F#F#GAAGF#G

(ah) won-der how I get a long.

BBBB

Good-bye, Pa pa,

GABB

it's hard to die,

BBBBBCBADD

when all the birds are sing-ing in the sky,

AAAAAGF#G

now that the spring is in the air.

GABBAGA

Lit-tle chil-dren ev'ry where.

F#F#GAAGF#G

When you see them I'll be there.

BCD+D+D+D+

We had joy, we had fun,

CBAGABD

we had sea-sons in the sun.

ABCCCC

But the wine and the song,

AGF#DF#AG

like the sea-sons, all have gone.

BBBBGABB

Good-bye, Mich-elle, my lit-tle one.

BBBB

You gave me love

BBCBADD

and helped me find the sun.

AAAAAGF#G

And ev'ry time that I was down,

GABBAGA

you would al-ways come a-round

F#F#GAAGF#G

and get my feet back on the ground.

BBBBGABB

Goodbye, Mich-elle, it's hard to die

BBBBBCBADD

when all the birds are sing-ing in the sky.

AAAAAGF#G

Now that the spring is in the air.

GABBAGA

With the flo-wers ev'ry where.

F#F#GAAGF#G

I wish that we could both be there.

BCD+D+D+D+

We had joy, we had fun,

CBAGABD

we had sea-sons in the sun.

ABCCCC

But the stars we could reach

AGF#DF#AG

were just star-fish on the beach.
