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,
simple enough.
capo 1
( )* * **
*
And the saddest thing under the sun above
* **
Is to say goodbye to the ones you love
*
All the things that I have known
* **
Became my life, my very own
But, before you know you say goodbye
All the time goodbye, it's time to cry
*
But I will not weep or make a scene
* **
Just say thank you life for having been
*
And the hardest thing under the sun above
* **
Is to say goodbye to the ones you love
I will not weep nor make a scene
I'm gonna thank, thank you life for having been.
*
And the loudest cry under the sun above
* **
Is a silent goodbye from the ones you love
* *
