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 ...
