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