By The Time I Get To Phoenix Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]By [Am]the t[C]im[G]e[Am][C]
[Am]I ge[C]t to Phoenix
She'll [D]be [G]rising
[D]She'll find my note,
[Am]I left[C] it hanging on h[D]er door[G]
[C]She laughs when she [D]reads
the poem that says [Bm]I'm l[Em]eaving
[Am]Cause I've left that girl
so many [C]times be[F]fore[D]
By the [Am]time I make Alba [C]cookie,
she'll [G]be working
[C]She[Am]'ll pro[C]bably sto[Am]p at lunch,
and [C]give me a [G]call
[C]But she'll just hear that phone
[D]Keep [Bm]on ri[Em]nging[Am]
Ringing on the wall
That's [F]all[D]
By the [Am]time [D]I make O[Am]klahom[D]a
She'll [G]be sleeping
[D]She'll turn softly [Am]an d[D]
call [Am]my name a[G]lone
[C]She'll cry [D]just to think I
[Bm]really [Em]bled
[Am]Though time and time [D]again,
I tried to tell [G]her so[C]
The [Am]girl just didn't know
[B]I would really go
