Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend,  

                                     Am      D
We've known each other since we were nine or ten. 

                             G        
Together we climbed hills and trees,  

                        Am
Learned of love and A B Cs, 

            D                      G
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees. 
Adieu, Emile, it's hard to die
                               Am     D
When all the birds are singing in the sky. 

                          G
Now that the Spring is in the air’ 

                      Am
Pretty girls are ev'rywhere.

D                       G
Think of me and I'll be there. 

                             Am
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun 

        D                              D7             G
But the hills we would climb were just seasons out of time 
G G Am D G
G
Adieu, Papa, please pray for me.  

                             Am  D
I was the black sheep of the family. 

                                 G
You tried to teach me right from wrong. 

                           Am
Too much wine and too much song, 

       D          G
Wonder how I got along. 
Adieu, Papa, it's hard to die
                               Am     D
When all the birds are singing in the sky. 

                          G
Now that spring is in the air, 

                     Am     D
Little children everywhere, 

                          G
When you see them I'll be there. 

                             Am
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun 

        D                          D7               G  
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone. 
G G Am D G
G
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, 

                           Am     D
Without you I'd have had a lonely life. 

                              G 
You cheated lots of times but then,  

                     Am
I forgave you in the end 

            D            G
though your lover was my friend. 
Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die
                               Am     D
When all the birds are singing in the sky. 

                          G
Now that spring is in the air 

                      Am   D
With your lovers everywhere; 

                         G
Just be careful, I'll be there. 

                                 Am
All our lives we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, 

        D                              D7              G
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach. 
G G Am D G
G 
Adieu, Emile. Adieu, Papa. Adieu, Francoise. 

                                 Am
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun, 

        D                          D7               G  
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone.

                                 Am
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun, 

        D                              D7              G
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.
