By The Time I Get To Phoenix Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]By [Em]the[G][D][G][Asus4]
[Em]time I get [Asus4]to
Phoenix, she'll be [D]rising
She'll [Asus4]find the note[Em] I left
[Asus4]hanging on h[D]er door
She'll [G]laugh when she reads the [A]part
that says [F#m]I'm le[Bm]aving
Cause [Em]I've left that girl so
many times [C]before[A]
[Asus4]By the ti[Em]me I make
[Asus4]Albuquerque, [Em]she'll be w[D]orking
[Asus4]She'll probably st[Em]op at lunch an[Asus4]d
give me a [D]call, but [G]oh, that phone [A]will just keep on
[F#m]ringing [Bm]off the [Em]wall, that's a[C]ll.[A]
[Asus4]By the time I[Em] make
[Asus4]Oklahoma, [Em]she'[Asus4]ll be slee[D]ping
[Asus4]She'll turn so[Em]ftly and
[Asus4]calm and meek[Em] out low[D]
And I know [G]she'll cry [A]to think
I'd really [F#m]leave [Bm]her
For [Em]time and time I've
tried to tell [C]her [A]so
She just didn't [D]know, [G]I'd really go[D][G]
[D]Oh baby, baby, this [G]time I'm leavin'
I [D]love you, I [G]love you,
but I've gotta leave you, [D]baby
Don't you [G]know,
don't you know that I'm leavin' this [D]time
[G]By the time I get to
Phoenix, [D]you're gonna realize
I'm gone [G]for the time
I [D]love you, I love you, I love [G]you,
but I'm leavin'
[D]I've got to leave you this [G]time now,
baby, baby
[D]I may have to cry
