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
