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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/safka_melanie/saddest_thing_crd.html ]
      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
