F           Gm        C7/4         C7                      Am7    Dm7
By the time ...  I get to Phoenix ...   she?ll be rising ...
             Gm7                C7                               F       F7M      F6
She?ll find the note ... I left there hanging ... on her door ...


Bb7M                                  C7/9                                     Am7              Dm       
And she?ll laugh ... when she reads the part ... that says I?m leaving ...
             Gm7                               Bb7               Eb7M          C7
?Cause I?ve left that girl ... so many times ... before ...


           Gm              C7/4         C7                      Am7    Dm7
By the time ... I make Albuquerque ... she?ll be working ...
           Gm7                C7                               F       F7M      F6
She?ll probably ... stop at lunch ... and give a call ...
Bb7M                                  C7/9                             Am7    Dm          Gm  Bb7    Eb7M    C7      
But she?ll just hear the empty phone ... just keep on ringing ... off the wall ...  that?s all ...


           Gm              C7/4         C7                      Am7    Dm7              Gm
By the time ... I make Oklahoma ... she?ll be sleeping ... she?ll turn softly ...
 C7/4        C7             F   F7M F6         Bb7M           C7/9                   Am7           Dm7
And calls my name ... out low ... and she?ll cry ... just to think ... I really leave her ...
Gm                             C7               F  F7M F6    Gm               A7                    D7M         C7M 
To time and time .. I?ve try ... to tell her so ...   she just didn?t know  ... I was really go ...
