Capo 1
[Am]I have seen the crimson sunset
[G]casting shadows [Dm]on a lonely b[Am]each[Dm].[Am]
[Am]I have witnessed stars of nighttime
[G]light their silver [Dm]patterns out of [Am]reac[Dm]h.[Am]
I have [Dm]watched the soaring eagle [E]fly
through blue and endless [Am]skie[Dm]s.[Am]
I have [Dm]felt the look of love shine [E]in
your dark and searching [Am]eyes[Dm].[Am]
But the [Dm]saddest thing I've ever s[G]een
was when you walked[Am] away.[Dm][Am]
But the [Dm]saddest thing I've ever s[E]een
was when you walked [Am]away.[Dm][Am]
[Am]I have heard the roar of thunder
[G]rip across a s[Dm]tormy summer n[Am]ight[Dm].[Am]
[Am]I have watched those white and weightless
[G]clouds of morning[Dm] sail out of s[Am]ight[Dm].[Am]
[Dm]I have felt most cherished moments s[E]lipping
through the gripping hands of [Am]hope[Dm].[Am]
[Dm]I have heard the violent final sna[E]pping
of the last strand of the r[Am]ope.[Dm][Am]
But the [Dm]saddest thing I've ever s[E]een
was when you walked[Am] away.[Dm][Am]
But the [Dm]saddest thing I've ever s[G]een
