Capo I
E A
Thank you my friend,
E
I sincerely appreciate the words you say,
About how she'll cry,
A
And how she'll grieve and miss me when she goes away,
E A
Say them again,
I need to hear the words once more,
E
I can't believe,
How she'll miss me when she's gone,
A
And how she'll want to come back home and never leave.
D A
But she's leaving me
D
Because she really wants to,
E A
And she'll be happy when she's gone,
A D
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy,
E A
She'll dance and sing and even learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me.
E A
What's that you say?
E
That I'll get over her the more that time goes by,
But time goes so slow,
A
When all I have to do is sit around and cry.
E A
No, she won't be back,
E
I'd be a fool to try and fool myself that way.
I know she hasn't one regret,
A
Because she hasn't had one since the day she came to stay.
D A
But she's leaving me
D
Because she really wants to,
E A
And she'll be happy when she's gone,
A D
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy,
E A
She'll dance and sing and even learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me.
A D
She'll be happy when she's gone
E A
She'll be happy when she's gone
A D
She'll be happy when she's gone
E A
She'll be happy when she's gone
