By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Fm                              Eb
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
       Fm                                  Eb
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
       Ab                       Bb                 Gm        Cm
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
            Fm                           Db      Bb
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

       Fm                                Eb
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
       Fm                                   Eb
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
    Ab                    Bb            Gm        Cm
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
        Fm          Db    Bb
Off the wall that's all

       Fm                             Eb
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
       Fm                               Eb
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
           Ab          Bb               Gm          Cm
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
       Fm                                Db
Though time and time I tried to tell her so
         Bb                         C
She just didn't know I would really go.

No, she didn't know I'd go
