Seasons in the sun (1974) (midi)

C

1. Good bye to you my trusted friend,

Dm - G

we`ve known each other since we were nine or ten,

C

together we climbed hills and trees,

Dm G C

learned of love and A B C; skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Good bye my friend it`s hard to die,

Dm - G

when all the birds are singing in the sky,

C

now that the spring is in the air.

Dm - G C

Pretty girls are everywhere, think of me and I`ll be there.

Dm

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun,

G G7 C

but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.

2. Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,

Dm - G

I was the black sheep of the family,'

C

you tried to teach me right from wrong,

Dm G C

too much wine and too much song, wonder how I got along.

Goodbye, Papa, it`s hard to die,

Dm - G

when all the birds are singing in the sky,

C

now that the spring is in the air,

Dm - G C

little children everywere, when you see them I'll be there.

Dm

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun,

G G7 C

but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone.

3. Goodbye Michelle my little one,

Dm - G

you gave me love and helped me find the sun,

C

and every time that I was down,

Dm G C

you would always come around and get my feet back on the ground.

Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die,

Dm - G

when all the birds are singing in the sky,

C

now that the spring is in the air,

Dm - G C

with the flowers everywhere, I wish that we could both be there.

Dm

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun,

G G7 C

but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.

Dm

We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun,

G G7 C

but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone......
