[Dm] I don't think [Gm] in the last 15 years there's been a [F] better songwriter of popular songs
than my friend Jimmy Webb, and no song any better than this one.
[Gm] By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll [F] be rising.
[C] [Gm] She'll find the note that I left her hanging [C] on her door.
[F]
[A] [Bb] She'll laugh [Gm] when she reads the part that [Am] says I'm leaving,
[Dm] cause [Gm] I've left that girl so many times [Eb] before.
[C] And [Gm] by the time I make Albuquerque, she'll [F] be working.
[Gm] She'll probably stop at lunch, Lord, and give [F] me a call.
[Cm] [F] [Bb] But she'll just hear that phone [Am] keep right on ringing.
[Dm]
[Gm] Oh, and [Eb] that's all.
[C] [F] And by [Gm] the time I make good old Oklahoma, she'll be [F] sleeping.
[Am] [Gm] She'll turn so bleak and call my [F] name out low.
Lord, [Bb] I'll try just to [Gm] think I'd [Am] really leave her.
[Dm] [Gm] Though time and time I've tried to [C] tell her [F] so,
[Dm] [Bb] I guess she just [Gm] didn't know [A] that I [D] would really go.
[C] No, [D] she didn't know I'd go.
[C] She didn't know [D] I'd go.
[Bm]
She [F] didn't [C] [D]
[C] [D]
[G] [C] know I'd go.

Let me just say, it's great to be on the same stage with you,
and it [E] just doesn't happen often enough.
But you know, back when I was trying to crack into charts,
you were all over the place with just hit after hit after hit.
And I thought, well, Roger, heck, he don't need all those songs,
if he could just give me one of them, you know.
Yeah, why didn't you ask?
Well, I'm asking you now.
Give me your hits.
In summertime when all the leaves, the leaves are green,
and the redbird [B] sings on me blue,
[E] cause she don't want my love.
Summertime, that's what you say when I want you,
and you make me [B] mean, make me cry,
[E] cause she don't want my love.
You [A] don't seem to care a thing about me,
you just love about [E] me,
than to have my arms around you when the night's [B] cold,
and you're so all [D] wrong.
[E] In summertime when all the trees, the leaves are green,
and the redbird [B] sings on me blue,
cause she [E] don't want my love.
[B]
[E] [A] You don't seem to care a thing about me,
you just love about [E] me,
than to have my arms around you when the night's cold,
and you're so all wrong.
[B] Summertime [E] when all the trees, the redbird [B] sings on me blue,
cause she [E] don't want my love.
[B]
[E] [N]
[E] Well, here I sit high, [A] getting ideas,
[B] ain't nothing but [E] a fool to live like this.
Out all [A] night, running wild,
[B] a woman [E] sitting home with a month old child.
Dang me, [A] dang me,
[B] nail to take a rope and [E] hang me,
high from the [A] highest tree.
Woman, would you weep [E] for me?
Be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be -be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be ow-ow-ow-ow-ow.
I'll tell you.
Well, I'm sitting [A] around drinking with the rest of the [B] guys,
you know there six rounds [E] bought, and I bought five.
I spent the grocery [A] and half the [B] rent,
and I'm like [E] fourteen dollars, half and twenty-seven.
Dang me, [A] dang me,
[B] nail to [E] take a rope and hang me,
high from the [Gbm] highest tree.
[Em] Woman, would you weep for me?
[A] [E] One more time.
