She's Leaving Home Chords
The Beatles *

E MajorE     B minorBm     F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
G+G          A augmentedA
Silently closing her bedroom door
G+G             A augmentedA
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more

     E MajorE  B minorBm      F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching a handkerchief
G+G          A7A7
Quietly turning the backdoor key
G+G            A7A7
Stepping outside she is free

D MajorD
She - we gave her most of our lives
D MajorD
Is leaving - sacrificed most of our lives
D MajorD         F# minorF#m
Home - We gave her everything money could buy
C# minorC#m            F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m
She is leaving home after living alone for so many years

E MajorE   B minorBm      F# minorF#m        C# minorC#m
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown,
G+G             A7A7
Picks up the letter that's lying there.
G+G           A7A7
Standing alone at the top of the stairs,

      E MajorE    B minorBm      F# minorF#m        C# minorC#m
She breaks down and cries to her husband "Daddy our baby's gone".
G+G             A7A7
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
G+G            A7A7
How could she do this to me?

D MajorD
She - we never thought of ourselves
D MajorD
Is leaving - never a thought for ourselves
D MajorD          F# minorF#m
Home - we struggled hard all our lives to get by
C# minorC#m           F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years

E MajorE   B minorBm     F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
G+G          A7A7
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
G+G     A augmentedA      A7A7
Meeting a man from the motor trade

D MajorD
She - what did we do that was wrong?
D MajorD
Is having - we didn't know it was wrong
D MajorD                F# minorF#m
Fun - fun is the one thing that money can't buy
C# minorC#m            F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m   F# minorF#m
Something inside that was always denied for so many years
C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m    A augmentedA  E MajorE
She's leaving home bye bye
