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
