Introdução: 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 
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin 
         Gm7         Eb7M  C7 
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

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin  
          Gm7                          F7M

Bb7M                 C7/9            Am7  Dm7

       Gm7          Eb7M  C7 
Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin

     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
