Safka Melanie - Saddest Thing guitar chord

THE SADDEST THING

Written by Melanie Safka

slow picking 3/4 time  

  

*throughout, where appropriate. each chord is actually 2 counts, 3/4 time.

**except here, where each chord is one count. what the heck just listen to the original & you'll get it, it's simple enough.

capo 1  

Am  Dm(Dsus4 Dm Dsus2 Dm)*  Am  E  Am  Dm* Am  **E Am Dm Am E

Am              Dm*             Am    E

And the saddest thing under the sun above

Am            Dm*        Am  **E   Am Dm Am E

Is to say goodbye to the ones you love

Am      Dm*  Am     E

All the things that I have known

Am        Dm*   Am    E **Am Dm Am E

Became my life, my very own

   Am Dm        Am           E

But, before you know you say goodbye

Am Dm        Am           E

All the time goodbye, it's time to cry

      Am       Dm*     Am    E

But I will not weep or make a scene

         Am        Dm*      Am   **E Am Dm Am E

Just say thank you life for having been

Am              Dm*             Am    E

And the hardest thing under the sun above

Am              Dm*             Am  **E Am Dm Am E

Is to say goodbye to the ones you love

Am Dm       Am     E      

I will not weep nor make a scene

          Am Dm            Am       E

I'm gonna thank, thank you life for having been.

Am              Dm*             Am    E

And the loudest cry under the sun above

Am              Dm*             Am  **E Am Dm Am E

Is a silent goodbye from the ones you love

Am              Dm*             Am    E   Am              Dm*             Am    E
