SAFKA MELANIE - "saddest thing" Tablature

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
