She's Leaving Me  


F            Bb
Thank you my friend
                           F 
I sincerely appreciate the words you say

About how she'll cry

And how she'll grieve and miss me
         Bb
When she goes away
F        Bb
Say them again

I need to hear the words once more
F
I can't believe

How she'll miss me when she's gone

And how she'll want to come back home
          Bb
And never leave
          Eb      Bb
But she's leaving me
                   Eb
Because she really wants to
    F                          Bb
And she'll be happy when she's gone
Bb                            Eb
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy

She'll dance and sing or even
F                                    Bb
Learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me

SOLO

F               Bb
What's that you say
                                     F
That I'll get over her the more that time goes by

But time goes so slow

When all I have to do
       Bb
Is sit around and cry
F               Bb
No she won't be back
                                F
I'd be a fool to try and fool myself that way

I know she hasn't one regret

Because she hasn't had one since
            Bb
the day she came to stay
          Eb      Bb
But she's leaving me
                   Eb
Because she really wants to
    F                          Bb
And she'll be happy when she's gone
Bb                            Eb
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy

She'll dance and sing and maybe
F                                    Bb
Learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me
Bb                             Eb
And she'll be happy when she's gone
F                            Bb
She'll be happy...when she's gone
Bb                               Eb
And she'll be happy...when she's gone
F                            Bb
She'll be happy...when she's gone
