Intro: F7M  Eb7M  F7M  Eb7M

        Gm7                           F7M
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be risin 
      Gm7                                 F7M
She'll find  the note I left hangin on her door 
Bb7M                 C7/9                          Am7   Dm7
She'll laugh when she reads the part that say I'm leaving 
                   Gm7                  Eb7M   C7
Cause I've left that girl so many times before 
        Gm7                              F7M
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin 
          Gm7                           F7M
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call 
Bb7M                    C7/9        Am7    Dm7            Gm7           Eb7M C7
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin.   Off the wall   that's all 
         Gm7                             F7M
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin 
              Gm7                        F7M
She'll turn softly and call my name out low 
     BbM7                C7/9                 Am7 Dm7
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her 
      Gm7            C7/9             F7M
But time and time I've tried to tell her so 
Bb7M             Gm7    A7M        D7M
She just didn't know I would really go
