By The Time I Get To Phoenix

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
And she'll find that note that I left hanging on the door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part
That says: "I'm leaving"
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

And by the time I get to [C7]Albuquerque, she'll be [Am]working
And she'll take off time just to [C7]give me a call
And she'll hear that ρhone keep ɾight on [C7]ɾinging and [Bm]ɾinging
On the wall, yeah oh, that's all

And by the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be [Am]sleeping
She'll turn softly in her sleep and [Bm]call [Em]my [A]name out low
And then she'll cry just to [C7]think that I'd ɾeally leave her, I left her
But time after time after time I tɾied to [C7]tell her so
But she just didn't know that I would ɾeally go
That I would ɾeally go
