_ [C] By _ [Gm] the time I make Albuquerque, _ [F] she'll be working _ She'll _ [Gm] probably stop at lunch and
give me [F] a call _ _ But _ [Bb] she'll hear that [C] empty phone [Am] keep on
ringing _ [Dm] _ up _
[Gm] the wall _ _ _ [Eb] That's all
_ [C] By _ [Gm] the time I make Oklahoma, _ _ [F] she'll be sleeping _ She'll _ [Gm] turn softly and [Bb] call my name [F] all alone

She [Gm] _ _ _
didn't know _ [A] that I would really _ [C] go
