[Opening]
Goodbye to you my trusted [F] friend [C] [F]
We’ve known each other since we were [Gm] nine or ten
Together [C] we’ve climbed hills and [F] trees [C] [F]
Learned of love and [Gm] ABC’s, skinned our [C] hearts and skinned our [F] knees

[verse 2]
Goodbye my friend it’s hard to [F] die [C] [F]
When all the birds are singing [Gm] in the sky
Now that [C] spring is in the [F] air [C] [F]
Pretty girls are every [Gm] where, [C]think of me and I’ll be [F] there

[verse 3]
We had [F] joy we had fun we had [Gm] seasons in the sun
But the [C] hills that we climbed were just seasons out of [F] time

[verse 4]
Goodbye papa, please pray for [F] me [C] [F]
I was the black sheep of the [Gm] family
You’ve tried to [C] teach me right from [F] wrong [C] [F]
Too much wine and too much [Gm] song, wonder [C] how I got [F] along

[verse 5]
Goodbye papa it’s hard to [F] die [C] [F]
When all the birds are singing [Gm] in the sky
Now that [C] spring is in the [F] air
Little children every [Gm] where, [C]when you see them I’ll be there

[chorus]
We had [F] joy we had fun we had [Gm] seasons in the sun
But the [C] wine and the song like the seasons have all [F] gone
We had [Ab] joy we had fun we had [Bbm] seasons in the sun
But the [Eb] wine and the song like the seasons have all [Ab] gone

[verse 6]
Goodbye Michelle my little [F] one [C] [F]
You gave me love and helped me [Gm] find the sun
And every [C] time that I was [F] down
You would always come [Gm] around, and get my [C] feet back on the [F] ground

[Closing]
Goodbye Michelle it’s hard to [F] die [C] [F]
When all the birds are singing [Gm] in the sky
Now that [C] spring is in the [F] air [C] [F]
With the flowers every [Gm] where, [C]I wish [C] that we could both be [F] there

[chorus]
We had [F] joy we had fun we had [Gm] seasons in the sun
But the [C] wine and the song like the seasons have all [F] gone
We had [Ab] joy we had fun we had [Bbm] seasons in the sun
But the [Eb] wine and the song like the seasons have all [Ab] gone

[chorus]
We had [A] joy we had fun we had [Bm] seasons in the sun
But the [E] wine and the song like the seasons have all [A] gone
We had [A] joy we had fun we had [Bm] seasons in the sun
But the [E] wine and the song like the seasons have all [A] gone
