Gm                              F7M  
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin 
Gm                                         F7M  
She'll find  the note I left hangin on her door 
Bb7M                          C9                 Am7 Dm 
She'll laugh when she reads the part that say I'm leaving 
Dm          Gm7                         Eb  C7 
Cause I've left that girl so many times before 
       Gm                                F7M  
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin 
       Gm                                   F7M  
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call 
Bb7M                    C9            Am7  Dm 
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin 
        Gm7            Eb C7 
Off the wall   that's all 
       Gm                             F7M  
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin 
Gm                                       F7M  
She'll turn softly and call my name out low 
Bb7M                 C9               Am7   Dm 
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her 
     Gm                C7                F7M  
But time and time I've tried to tell her so 
Bb7M          Gm   A              D 
She just didn't know I would really go
