She's Leaving Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Asus4]Wednesday mo[D]rning at five[Em]
o 'clock [A]as the [Bm]day begins[E]
Si[Asus4]lently closing he[G]r be[A]droom door,
[G]leaving [Em]the note [Asus4]that she [A]hoped would say more,
she goes [D]downstair[Am]s to the [Em]kitchen,
clutching [A]her [Bm]handkerchief.[E]
[Asus4]Quietly turning the b[A]ackdoor key
[Asus4]Stepping outside, she is [A]free
[D]She, we've given most of our lives
We've even sacrificed
most of our lives
She's [Bm]leaving home
after [E]living alone
for so [Bm]many years
[E]Fat[D]her snores as [Am]his w[Em]ife gets
into [G]her dress[Bm]ing gown[E]
She [Asus4]picks up the letter
that's [A]lying there
Stand[Asus4]ing alone at the
[A]top of the stair
She breaks [D]down and cries
[Am]to her [Em]husband and daddy
Our [Bm]baby's [E]gone
Why [Asus4]would she treat
us so [A]thoughtlessly?
How [Asus4]could she do this to me?[A]
[D]We never thought of ourselves
We never thought for ourselves
We struggled hard all our lives to get
[Bm]She's leaving home
after [E]living alone
for so [Bm]many years[E]
[D]Friday morning [Asus4]at nine o[Em] 'clock
she is [Bm]far a[E]way
[Asus4]Waiting to keep the appoint
[A]ment she made
Meeting [Asus4]a man from the mot[A]or train
Say[D]ing what did we do that was wrong
Is harder, we didn't know it
was wrong
Honey's the one thing that money
can't
[Bm]Something inside [E]that was always denied
for so many [Bm]years
[E]And [Bm]she's leaving [E]on my [G]back[D]
And
