The Mad Lads - By The Time I Get To Phoenix chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [F#m]
Phoenix seems [E] so [A] close
[A] [F#m] By the time I get to Phoenix
[E] She'll be rising
[B] She'll find a note
I left hanging
[E] On her door
[A] She'll laugh when she reads [B] the part
That [G#m] says I'm leaving
[C#m]
Cause [F#m] I've left a girl
So many [D] times before
[B]
By [A] [F#m] the time I make Albuquerque
[E] She'll be working
She'll [F#m] probably stop at lunch
And give me [C#m] a [E] call
But [A] that phone
[B] Will just [G#m] keep on ringing
[C#m]
[F#m] Off the wall
Baby, [D] that's all
[B]
[F#m] [F#] By the [B] time I reach Oklahoma
[E] She'll be sleeping
[E] She'll [B] turn [F#m] softly
And call my name [E] So low
[A] She'll [B] cry
To think I'm really leaving her
[C#m]
[F#m] For time and time
I've tried to [D] tell her so
[B]
She [E] didn't know
[C#m]
How to [E] really go
[A]
[E] Oh, [A] baby, but I'm leaving
[E] I'm gonna miss your love
But I've [A] got to leave you
[E] By this time, this [A] time I'm leaving you
[E] But [A] I've got to go, baby
I'm gonna miss your love
[A] I'm gonna miss your kiss
[E] But I've got to leave, [A] baby
[E] [A]
