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
