____Intro: Harp

 D__________

____Verse: 1

 D         Am         Em7                  Bm7      E7
 Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins 
 A (11 fr.)                A9
 Silently closing her bedroom door, 
 A (11 fr.)                     A9
 leaving the note that she hoped would say more 
          D   Am            Em7                   Bm          E7
 She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief 
 A (11 fr.)                A9
 Quietly turning the back door key 
 A (11 fr.)                   A9
 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) 
 Bm                       E7                  Bm        E9
 She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
                                   (bye bye) 

____Verse: 2

 D      Am            Em7                Bm7          E7
 Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown 
 A (11 fr.)                      A9
 Picks up the letter that's lying there 
 A (11 fr.)                 A9
 standing alone at the top of the stairs 
            D        Am           Em7
 she breaks down and cries to her husband 
             Bm          E7
 "Daddy, our baby's gone" 
 A (11 fr.)                     A9
 Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
 A (11 fr.)                    A9
 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) 
 Bm                       E7                  Bm        E9
 She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
                                   (bye bye)

____Verse: 3

 D      Am         Em7                 Bm7     E7
 Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away 
 A (11 fr.)                  A9
 waiting to keep the appointment she made 
 A (11 fr.)                  A9
 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) 
 Bm                        E7                   Bm7       E7
 Something inside that was always denied for so many years
                                     (bye bye)
 Bm            E7        G   D 
 She's leaving home (bye bye)
