Capo 1
A#m
I have seen the crimson sunset
G# D#m A#m D#m A#m
casting shadows on a lonely beach.
A#m
I have witnessed stars of nighttime
G# D#m A#m D#m A#m
light their silver patterns out of reach.
D#m F
I have watched the soaring eagle fly
A#m D#m A#m
through blue and endless skies.
D#m F
I have felt the look of love shine in
A#m D#m A#m
your dark and searching eyes.
D#m G#
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
A#m D#m A#m
was when you walked away.
D#m F
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
A#m D#m A#m
was when you walked away.
A#m
I have heard the roar of thunder
G# D#m A#m D#m A#m
rip across a stormy summer night.
A#m
I have watched those white and weightless
G# D#m A#m D#m A#m
clouds of morning sail out of sight.
D#m F
I have felt most cherished moments slipping
A#m D#m A#m
through the gripping hands of hope.
D#m F
I have heard the violent final snapping
A#m D#m A#m
of the last strand of the rope.
D#m F
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
A#m D#m A#m
was when you walked away.
D#m G#
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
A#m D#m A#m
was when you walked away.
