Seasons in the Sun
English version of "Le moribond" by Jacques Brel
F
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend,
C7
F
we've known each oth'r since we were
Bb
nine or ten;
Bbm
together we've climbed hills and
F
trees,
F
learned of love and A-B-
G
C`s,
skinned our
Bbm
hearts and skinned our
F
knees.
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 ev'ry where;
think of me and I'll be there.
Chorus
F
We had joy, we had fun,
we had
Gm
seasons in the sun;
but the hills that we
Gm7
climb
were just
C7
seasons out of
F
time.
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 ev'ry where,
when you'll see them, I'll be there.
Chorus
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one,
you gave me love and helped me find the sun;
and ev'ry 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 ev'ry where
I wish that we could both be there.
All our lives we had fun,
we had seasons in the sun;
But the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach.
