She's Leaving Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wednesday mor[C]ning at fiv[G]e o'clock
As [Bm]the day [E]begins
[G]Silently closing her [A]bedroom door
[G]Leaving the note that [Asus4]she
[A]hoped would say more

[Verse 2]
She goes [D]downstair[C] s to[Am]
the [C]kit[Em]chen
[Bm]Clutching her [E]handkerchief[Bm]
[G]Quietly [Asus4]turning t[A]he backdoor key
[G]Stepping outside, she is [A]free[D]

[Verse 3]
She(we gave her [D]most
of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (we gave her [C]everything
money could [Bm]buy)
She's leaving home, after [E]living alone,
for so [Bm]many [E]years [D](bye bye)

[Verse 4]
Father [C]snores [Am]as his w[G]ife gets
into her [Bm]dressing [E]gown
[Asus4]Picks up the[G] letter[Asus4]
that's [A]lying there
[G]Standing alone [Asus4]at the top of[A] the stairs
She breaks [D]down and [C]cries
[Am]to her h[Em]us ba[G]nd
"Daddy, our [Bm]baby's [E]gone.
[G]"Why [Asus4]would she[G] treat us
[Asus4]so though[A]tlessly?
How [G]could she do this to [A]me?"
[D]She

[Verse 5]
(we never thought
of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought
for ourselves)
Home (we struggled [C]hard all
our lives to get [Bm]by)
She's leaving home, after [E]living alone,
for so [Bm]many [E]years

[Verse 6]
[D]Friday [C]morning, [Am]at n[G]ine o'[Em]clock[Bm]
She is far [E]away
[G]Wait[A]ing [G]to keep the [Asus4]ap
[A]pointment she made
[G]Meeting a man from [A]the [D]Mo tortrade

[Verse 7]
She (what did [D]we do that
was wrong)
Is Having (we didn't know
it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the [C]one thing that
money can't [Bm]buy)

[Verse 8]
Something inside, that was [E]always denied,
for so [Bm]many [E]years
[Bm]She's leaving [E]home, bye, [G]bye
