"She's Leaving Home" (Capo: 2nd. fret)
____Intro: Harp
D__________
____Verse: 1
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
(11 fr.)
Silently closing her bedroom door,
(11 fr.)
leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
(11 fr.)
Quietly turning the back door key
(11 fr.)
stepping outside she is free
____Chorus: 1
D_________________________________
She (we gave her most of our lives)
________________________________________
is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
__________________Am6_______________________
home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
(bye bye)
____Verse: 2
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
(11 fr.)
Picks up the letter that's lying there
(11 fr.)
standing alone at the top of the stairs
she breaks down and cries to her husband
"Daddy, our baby's gone"
(11 fr.)
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
(11 fr.)
How could she do this to me?
____Chorus: 2
D_________________________________
She (We never thought of ourselves)
_________________________________________
is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
___________________Am6_________________________
home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
(bye bye)
____Verse: 3
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
(11 fr.)
waiting to keep the appointment she made
(11 fr.)
meeting a man from the motor trade
____Chorus: 3
D_________________________________
She (what did we do that was wrong)
______________________________________
is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
________________Am6___________________________
fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for so many years
(bye bye)
She's leaving home (bye bye)
