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