         C#m7       C#m6
o'clock as the day begins
B4(7/9)              B7(9)
Silently closing her bedroom door
B4(7/9)              B7(9)
Leaving the note that she hoped 
would say more

         E    Bm7          F#m7  
She goes downstairs to the 
              C#m7         C#m6
kitchen clutching a handkerchief
B4(7/9)             B7(9)
Quietly turning the backdoor key
B4(7/9)                 B7(9)
Stepping outside she is free

E
She (we gave her most of our lives)

Is leaving  (sacrificed most of our 
lives)
                   E/D
Home  (We gave her everything money 
could buy)
C#m7                      C#m6   
She is leaving home after living 
             C#m7        F#7/9
alone for so many years

Father snores as his wife gets 
        C#m7            C#m6
into her dressing gown,
B4(7/9)              B7(9)
Picks up the letter that's lying 
there.
B4(7/9)              B7(9)
Standing alone at the top of the 
stairs,
           E        Bm7          
She breaks down and cries to her 
F#m7              C#m7         C#m6
husband Daddy our baby's gone.
B4(7/9)                 
Why would she treat us so 
  B7(9)
thoughtlessly?
B4(7/9)                  B7(9)
How could she do this to me?
E
She (we never thought of ourselves)

Is leaving  (never a thought for 
ourselves)
                    E/D
Home  (we struggled hard all our 
lives to get by)

B4(7/9)                B7(9)
Waiting to keep the appointment she 
made
B4(7/9)                B7(9)
Meeting a man from the motor trade

E
She  (what did we do that was 
wrong?)

Is having  (we didn't know it was 
wrong)
                 E/D
Fun  (fun is the one thing that 
money can't buy)

C#m7                      C#m6   
Something inside that was always 
              C#m7        F#7/9
denied for so many years
C#m7          F#7/9      A   E
She's leaving home   bye bye
