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.
AD LIB:
Bb C Bb C
No, she didn't know I'd go
