The Beatles - She's Leaving Home
Originally in E, I play in D
DWednesday Ammorning at Em7five o’clock as the Bm7day beginsE7
A9Silently closing her A7bedroom door
A9Leaving the note that she A7hoped would say more
She goes DdownAmstairs to the Em7kitchen clutching
Her Bm7handkerchiefE7
A9Quietly turning the A7backdoor key, A9stepping outside
She is A7free
DShe (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (we gave her Ameverything money could Bm7buy)
She’s leaving home after E7living alone
For Bm7so many years E7
DFather Amsnores as his Em7wife gets into her Bm7dressing gownE7
A9Picks up the letter that’s A7lying there
A9Standing alone at the A7top of the stairs
She breaks Ddown and Amcries to her Em7husband
Daddy, our Bm7baby’s goneE7
A9Why would she treat us so A7thoughtlessly?
A9How could she do this to A7me?
DShe (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled Amhard all our lives to get Bm7by)
She’s leaving home after E7living alone
For Bm7so many years E7
DFriday Ammorning at Em7nine o’clock she is Bm7far awayE7
A9Waiting to keep the A7appointment she made
A9Meeting a man from the A7motor trade
DShe (what did we do that was wrong?)
Is having (we didn’t know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the Amone thing that money can’t Bm7buy)
Bm7Something inside that was E7always denied, for Bm7so many yearsE7
Bm7She’s leaving E7home, bye, Gbye D
