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...
