Terry Jacks — Seasons in the Sun

 Verse 1:
 C                        
Goodbye to you my trusted friend 
                                     Dm        G
We've known each other since we were nine or ten 
                                 C
Together we've climbed hills and trees 
                    Dm
Learned of love and ABC's 
            G                      C
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees 
                              
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die 
                               Dm      G
When all the birds are singing in the sky 
                          C
Now that spring is in the air 
                      Dm
Pretty girls are everywhere 
 G                      C
Think of me and I'll be there 
 
Chorus:
                             Dm
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun 
        G                              G7             C
But the hills we would climb were just seasons out of time 
 
Verse 2:
 C                            
Goodbye papa, please pray for me 
                             Dm  G
I was the black sheep of the family 
                                    C
You've tried to teach me right from wrong 
                           Dm
Too much wine and too much song 
       G          C
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 spring is in the air 
                     Dm  G
Little children everywhere 
                          C
When you see them I'll be there 
 
Chorus:
                             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. 
 
Verse 3:
 C                         
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
You would always come around 
           G                C
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 spring is in the air 
                      Dm  G
With the flowers everywhere 
                            C
I wish that we could both be there 
 
Chorus:
                             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. 
 
Outro:
                                 Dm
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun, 
        G                              G7              C
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.
