[E] [B] [E] I do a meal, my trusted friend We've known each other since we [A] were nine
or ten Together we climbed [E] hills and trees
Learned of love [A] in ABC's Skinned our [E] hearts and skinned our knees
I do a meal, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that [F#m] the spring is [E] in the air Pretty girls are everywhere
[F#m]
Think of me and I'll be [Em] there We had joy, we had [F#m] fun
We had seasons in the sun But the hills we would [B] climb
Were just [E] seasons out of time
Ah, Duke, Papa, please pray for me I was the black sheep of [A] the family
You tried to teach me right [E] from wrong Too much wine and too [A] much song
Wonder how I [E] got along Ah, Duke, Papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing [F#m] in the sky Now that the spring [E] is in the air
Little children everywhere [A] When you see them I'll be there
We had joy, we had [A] fun We had seasons in the [F#m] sun
But the wine and the song Like the [E] seasons have all gone
Adieu, Françoise, my trusted wife Without you I'd have had [A] a lonely life
You cheated lots of [E] times, but then I forgave you in the [F#m] end
Though your lover [E] was my friend Adieu, Françoise, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing [F#m] in the sky Now that [E] the spring is in the air
With your lovers [A] everywhere Just be careful, [E] I'll be there
All our lives [D#] we had fun [A] We had seasons in the [F#m] sun
But the stars we could reach [B] Were just starfish on [E] the beach
Adieu, Emile, [E] adieu, Papa,
[B] adieu, [C#] Françoise
[E] We had joy, we had [A] fun We had seasons in the sun
[F#m] But the wine and the song Like the seasons [E] have all gone
All our lives we had fun [A] We had seasons in the sun
But the stars [F#] we could reach
or ten Together we climbed [E] hills and trees
Learned of love [A] in ABC's Skinned our [E] hearts and skinned our knees
