For the choruses, you can hang on an E chord, or try the ones I have written, again,
whichever sounds better. Also, try swapping the bracketed F#s for C#sus4.
[E]Wednesday m[E7]orning at f[A]ive o[(F#m)]'clock as the [C#m]day begins[(F#)]
[F#m7]Silently closing her [B7]bedroom door
[F#m7]Leaving the note that she h[B7]oped would say more
She goes d[E]owns[E7]tairs to the [A]kitchen [(F#m)]clutching her ha[C#m]ndkerchief[(F#)]
[F#m7]Quietly turning the [B7]backdoor key, [F#m7]stepping outside she is free[B7]
[E]She (We gave her most of our lives) Is l[E7]eaving (Sacraficed most of our lives)
[E6]Home (We gave her [E/B]everything m[E7]oney could buy)
[C#m]She's leaving home after [F#]living alone for so m[C#m7]any years (Bye bye)
[E]Father [E7]snores as his w[A]ife gets[(F#m)] into her [C#m]dressing gown[(F#)]
[F#m7]Picks up the letter that's l[B7]ying there, s[F#m7]tanding alone at the to[B7]p of the stairs
She breaks d[E]own and c[E7]ries to her h[A]usband [(F#m)]"Daddy our bab[C#m]y's gone[(F#)]
[F#m7]Why would she treat us so [B7]thoughtlessly?[F#m7] How could she do this to [B7]me?"
[E]She (We never thought of ourselves) Is l[E7]eaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
[E6]Home (We struggled h[E/B]ard all our l[E7]ives to get by)
[C#m]She's leaving home after [F#]living alone for so [C#m7]many years (Bye bye)
[E]Friday [E7]morning at [A]nine o[(F#m)]'clock she is[C#m] far away[(F#)]
[F#m7]Waiting to keep the ap[B7]pointment she made, m[F#m7]eeting a man from the [B7]motor trade
[E]She (What did we do that was wrong) Is [E7]having (We didn't know it was wrong)
[E6]Fun (Fun is the [E/B]one thing that m[E7]oney can't buy)
[C#m]Something inside that was [F#]always denied, for so [C#m7]many years (Bye bye)
[C#m]She's leaving h[F#]ome, Bye b[A]ye[E]
