She's Leaving Home

	  		

E     Bm     F#m              C#m       F#7 
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins  
A              B7 
Silently closing her bedroom door 
A                 B7 
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more 
      E   Bm       F#m             C#m         F#7 
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching a handkerchief 
A            B7                       A            B7 
Quietly turning the backdoor key stepping outside she is free 
E 
She  gave her most of our lives Is leaving  most of our lives 
          Bm 
Home   gave her everything money could buy 
C#m             F#7               C#m         F#7 
She is leaving home after living alone for so many years 
E    Bm           F#m            C#m        F#7 
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown 
A                  B7            
Picks up the letter that's lying there 
 A               B7 
Standing alone at the top of the stairs 
      E      Bm       F#m           C#m      F#7 
She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone 
A               B7 
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly 
A              B7 
How could she do this to me 
E 
She  never thought of ourselves Is leaving   a thought for ourselves 
           Bm  
Home   struggled hard all our lives to get by 
C#m              F#7              C#m       F#7 
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years 
E    Bm       F#m           C#m       F#7 
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away 
A            B7                          A              B7 
Waiting to keep the appointment she made meeting a man from the motor trade 
E 
She   did we do that was wrong Is having   didn't know it was wrong 
          Bm 
Fun   is the one thing that money can't buy 
C#m               F#7              C#m      F#7 
Something inside that was always denied for so many years 
C#m           F#7   A   E 
She's leaving home bye bye
