Intro
E
E Bm F#m F#m7 C#m7 F#7
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
F#m7 F#m6
Silently closing her bedroom door
F#m7 F#m6
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
E Bm F#m F#m7 C#m7 F#7
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
F#m7 F#m6
Quietly turning the back door key
F#m7 F#m6
Steppping outside she is free
Chorus :
E
She—————
We gave her most of our lives
Is leaving.——
Sacrificed most of our lives
Bm6
Home————
We gave her everything money could
C#m F#7 C#m F#7
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
bye bye.
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me.
Chorus
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.
Chorus Outro :
C#m F#7 A E
She's leaving home bye bye
