Verse   Goodbye 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   Goodbye my friend it’s hard to die   When all the birds are singing in the sky   Now that 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   Goodbye papa please pray for me   I was the black sheep of the family   You’ve 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 spring is in the air   Little children everywhere   When you see them I’ll be there   Chorus   We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun   But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone   We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun   But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone   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 spring is in the air   With the flowers everywhere   I wish that we could both be there     **Chords go up one full step for closing choruses** We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun   But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone   We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun   But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone   **Optional** We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun   But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone   We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun   But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone   Fade out playing chorus chords
