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   (Dsus4 Dsus2 )*        *   ** 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                      *                                  *                  **************************************************************** another mediocre transcription by mrspremise laura
