Goodbye to you, my trusted friend 
                                     G#m 
We've known each other since we were nine or ten 
                              F# 
Together we climbed hills and trees 
                        G#m 
Learned of love and A B C 
            C#7                    F# 
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees 

                                 F# 
Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die 
                               G#m 
When all the birds are singing in the sky 
                              F# 
Now that the spring is in the air 
                      G#m 
Pretty girls are everywhere 
C#7                     F# 
Think of me and I'll be there 
  
       F# 
We had joy, we had fun 
       G#m 
We had seasons in the sun 
        C#7 
But the hills that we climbed  
                         F# 
were just seasons out of time 

                             F# 
Goodbye Papa, please pray for me 
                             G#m 
I was the black sheep of the family 
                                 F# 
You tried to teach me right from wrong 
                           G#m 
Too much wine and too much song 
C#7               F# 
Wonder how I got along 

                          F# 
Goodbye Papa, its hard to die 
                               G#m 
When all the birds are singing in the sky 
                              F# 
Now that the spring is in the air 
                     G#m 
Little children everywhere 
C#7                       F# 
When you see them I'll be there 

       F# 
We had joy, we had fun 
       G#m 
We had seasons in the sun 
        C#7 
But the wine and the song  
                          F# 
like the seasons Have all gone 

                            F# 
Goodbye Michelle, my little one 
                               G#m 
You gave me love and helped me find the sun 
                          F# 
And every time that I was down 
                      G#m 
You would always come around 
           C#7              F# 
And get my feet back on the ground 

                              F# 
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die 
                               G#m 
When all the birds are singing in the sky 
                              F# 
Now that the spring is in the air 
                      G#m 
With the flowers everywhere 
  C#7                        F# 
I wish that we could both be there 

       F# 
We had joy, we had fun 
       G#m 
We had seasons in the sun 
        C#7 
But the stars we could reach 
                          F# 
Were just starfish on the beach 

        A 
All our lives we had fun 
       Bm 
We had seasons in the sun 
        E7 
But the hills that we climbed  
                         A 
were just seasons out of time 

       A# 
We had joy, we had fun 
       Cm 
We had seasons in the sun...
