THE SADDEST THING
Written by Melanie Safka
slow picking 3/4 time
*throughout, where appropriate. each chord is actually 2 counts, 3/4 time.
**except here, where each chord is one count. what the heck just listen to the original & you'll get it,
simple enough.
capo 1
Am Dm(Dsus4 Dm Dsus2 Dm)* Am E Am Dm* Am **E Am Dm Am E
Am Dm* Am E
And the saddest thing under the sun above
Am Dm* Am **E Am Dm Am E
Is to say goodbye to the ones you love
Am Dm* Am E
All the things that I have known
Am Dm* Am E **Am Dm Am E
Became my life, my very own
Am Dm Am E
But, before you know you say goodbye
Am Dm Am E
All the time goodbye, it's time to cry
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/melanie-safka/44570.html ]
Am Dm* Am E
But I will not weep or make a scene
Am Dm* Am **E Am Dm Am E
Just say thank you life for having been
Am Dm* Am E
And the hardest thing under the sun above
Am Dm* Am **E Am Dm Am E
Is to say goodbye to the ones you love
Am Dm Am E
I will not weep nor make a scene
Am Dm Am E
I'm gonna thank, thank you life for having been.
Am Dm* Am E
And the loudest cry under the sun above
Am Dm* Am **E Am Dm Am E
Is a silent goodbye from the ones you love
Am Dm* Am E Am Dm* Am E
