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