[Verse 1]
D*                           D
  Goodbye to you, my trusted friend,
D                                      Em
  we've known each other since we were nine or ten,
Em                              D
  together we climbed hills and trees;
D                         Em             A                      D*
  learned of love and A B C, skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

[Verse 2]
                                 D
Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die,
D                                Em
  when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Em                              D
  now that the spring is in the air;
D                       Em     A7                        D
  pretty girls are ev'rywhere,   think of me and I'll be there.

[Chorus]
       D                       Em
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun,
        Em7/A         A7                             D*      D** Eb** F**
but the hills thet we climb were just seasons out of time.

[Verse 3]
D*                               D
  Goodbye, papa, please pray for me,
D                             Em
  I was the blacksheep of the family,
Em                                 D
  you tried to teach me right from wrong,
D                            Em           A          D*
  too much wine and too much song, wonder how I got along.

[Verse 4]
                            D
Goodbye, papa, it's hard to die,
D                                Em
  when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Em                              D
  now that the spring is in the air;
D                      Em     A7                          D
  little children everywhere,   when you see them I'll be there.

[Chorus]
       D                       Em
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun,
        Em7/A         A7                             D*
but the hills thet we climb were just seasons out of time.

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

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

[Verse 5]
D*                             D
  Goodbye, Michelle, my little one,
D                                Em
  you gave me love and helped me find the sun,
Em                          D
  and every time that I was down,
D                  Em               A                D*
  you always come around and get my feet back on the ground.

[Verse 6]
                                D
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die,
D                                Em
  when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Em                              D
  now that the spring is in the air,
D                       Em     A7                             D
  with the flowers everywhere,   I wish that we could both be there.

[Chorus]
       D                       Em
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun,
        Em7/A         A7                             D*
but the hills thet we climb were just seasons out of time.
       F                       Gm

        Gm7/C        C7                             F*
but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone.
