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                           A                     B7 
Picks up the letter that's lying there. 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                                  A                        B7 
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly  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
