Key: :[G] (w: Jacques Brel, Rod McKuen) (Recorded Key: F#)

VERSE 1:
Goodbye to you my trusted [G] friend [D/G] [G]
We've known each [D/G] other since we were [Am] nine or [AmMaj7] ten [Am7]
Together [D] we've climbed hills and [G] trees [D/G] [G]
Learned of [D/G] love and AB-[Am]-C's, skinned our [D] hearts and [G] skinned our knees

VERSE 2:
Goodbye my friend it's hard to [G] die [D/G] [G]
When all the [D/G] birds are singing [Am] in the [AmMaj7] sky [Am7]
Now that spring is in the [G] air [D/G] [G]
Pretty [D/G] girls are every-[Am]-where, think of [D] me and I'll be [G] there

CHORUS:
We had [G] joy we had fun we had [Am] seasons in the sun
But the [D] hills that we climbed were just seasons out of [G] time

VERSE 3:
Goodbye papa, please pray for [G] me [D/G] [G]
I was the [D/G] black sheep of the [Am] fami-[AmMaj7]-ly [Am7]
You've tried to teach me right from [G] wrong [D/G] [G]
Too much [D/G] wine and too much [Am] song, wonder [D] how I got [G] along

VERSE 4:
Goodbye papa it's hard to [G] die [D/G] [G]
When all the [D/G] birds are singing in the [AmMaj7] sky [Am7]
Now that spring is in the [G] air [D/G] [G]
Little [D/G] children every-[Am]-where, when you [D] see them I'll be [G] there

CHORUS:
[G] We had joy we had fun [Am] we had seasons in the sun
But the [D] wine and the song like the seasons have all [G] gone
[A#] We had joy we had fun [Cm] we had seasons in the sun
But the [F7] wine and the song like the seasons have all [A#] gone

VERSE 5:
Goodbye Michelle my little [G] one [D/G] [G]
You gave me [D/G] love and helped me [Am] find the [AmMaj7] sun [Am7]
And every time that I was [G] down [D/G] [G]
You would [D/G] always come [Am] around, and get my [D] feet back on the [G] ground

VERSE 6:
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to [G] die [D/G] [G]
When all the [D/G] birds are singing in the [AmMaj7] sky [Am7]
Now that spring is in the [G] air [D/G] [G]
With the [D/G] flowers every-[Am]-where, I wish that [D] we could both be [G] there

CHORUS:
[G] We had joy we had fun [Am] we had seasons in the sun
But the [D] wine and the song like the seasons have all [G] gone
[A#] We had joy we had fun [Cm] we had seasons in the sun
But the [F7] wine and the song like the seasons have all [A#] gone
