Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 1]

Good-bye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's, skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

/ F - / Gm C7 / F - / GmC7 F /

Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere, think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

/ F / Gm / C7 / C7F /

Goodbye, papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song, wonder how I got along

Goodbye, papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere, when you see them I'll be there

We had joy...
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

{Repeat}

/ Ab / Bbm / Eb7 / Eb7Ab /

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

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

We... / But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

{Repeat}

/ Ab / Bbm / Eb7 / Eb7Ab /

We... / But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

/ A / Bm / E7 / E7A /

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

We... / But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

{Repeat to fade}
