By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Intro: Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7  


       Gm7                              Fmaj7    
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising   
       Gm7                                  Fmaj7    
She'll find the note I left hanging, on her door   
       Bbmaj7                   C7                 Am7     Dm7   
She'll laugh when she reads the part, that say I'm leaving   
           Gm7                             Eb   C7   
Cause I've left that girl, so many times before   
       Gm7                                Fmaj7    
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working   
       Gm7                                   Fmaj7    
She'll probably, stop at lunch and give me a call   
           Bbmaj7          C7             Am7     Dm7   
But she'll hear that empty phone, keep on ringing   
        Gm7          Eb  C7   
Off the wall, that's all   
       Gm7                              Fmaj7    
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping   
       Gm7                              Fmaj7    
She'll turn softly and call my name out low   
           Bbmaj7             C7         Am7       Dm7   
And she'll cry to think, that I'd really leave her   
             Gm7              C7                Fmaj7    
But time and time again, I've tried to tell her so   
Bbmaj7          Gm7   A7                     Dmaj7   
She just didn't know,    that I would really go...
