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