           Am7                                         Gmaj7    
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising   
          Am7                                               Gmaj7    
She'll find the note I left hanging, on her door   
          Cmaj7                                D7                      Bm7     Em7   
She'll laugh when she reads the part, that say I'm leaving   
                  Am7                                         F     D7   
Cause I've left that girl, so many times before   
           Am7                                                Gmaj7    
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working   
          Am7                                                    Gmaj7    
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call   
               Cmaj7                D7                     Bm7     Em7   
But she'll hear that empty phone, keep on ringing   
           Am7           F   D7   
Off the wall, that's all   
           Am7                                              Gmaj7    
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping   
          Am7                                            Gmaj7    
She'll turn softly and call my name out low   
                Cmaj7          D7                      Bm7         Em7   
And she'll cry to think,       that I'd really leave her   
       Am7               D7                   Gmaj7    
But time and time,      I've tried to tell her so   
Cmaj7             Am7   B7                              Emaj7   
She just didn't know,       that I would really go...
