F        Gm        C7/4       
By the time ...  I get to 
C7                  Am7      Dm7
Phoenix ...   she’ll be rising ...

          Gm7              C7 
She’ll find the note ... I left 
                     F     F7M     
there hanging ... on her door ...
F6


Bb7M                        C7/9 
And she’ll laugh ... when she 
                         Am7    
reads the part ... that says I’m 
        Dm
leaving ...

        Gm7                      
'Cause I’ve left that girl ... so 
   Bb7            Eb7M    C7
many times ... before ...


Continues after the ad
       Gm           C7/4      C7 
By the time ... I make 
                Am7   Dm7
Albuquerque ... she’ll be working 
...

        Gm7             C7        
She’ll probably ... stop at lunch 
              F       F7M F6
... and give a call ...

Bb7M                        C7/9 
But she’ll just hear the empty 
                   Am7     Dm     
phone ... just keep on ringing ...
     Gm     Bb7     Eb7M       C7
 off the wall ...  that’s all ...


       Gm           C7/4     C7  
By the time ... I make Oklahoma 
               Am7    Dm7         
... she’ll be sleeping ... she’ll 
     Gm
turn softly ...

 C7/4     C7         F  F7M   
And calls my name ... out low 
F6       Bb7M            C7/9   
... and she’ll cry ... just to 
                 Am7         Dm7
think ... I really leave her ...

Gm                     C7        
To time and time .. I’ve try ... 
       F F7M   F6     Gm        
to tell her so ...   she just 
     A7              D7M          
didn’t know  ... I was really go 
C7M
