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.

 

 

    C               

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......
