Tonart: Eb major
Verse 1
the power of love now.
Bb
Ab
I'm gonna tell you what love can do.
You know when they say love makes
the world go round.
That's the truth.
Now I want your imagination.
I want you to travel with me.
Oh, come on, come on, come on.
This young man was raised
in the hills of
Tennessee.
When he reached the age of maturity,
he moved to the west coast, and he fell in love when
Bb
Ab
he got out there, to this young girl, and then the inevitable,
became engaged and they
were married, oh,
the power of love was upon him.
But you see girls,
Bb
Ab
I don't mean to come down on you.
Bb
Ab
But this man loved this woman so he
could see no wrong, no, no, no.
He spent his last dime on
the woman because he loved her.
Bb
Ab
You know girls, you can take love and kindness sometimes for weakness,
and she took it for
granted and she tipped out
on it.
She said, ain't nobody gonna believe
what you tell them, no way.
Fool.
Oh yeah girls, you do like that sometimes.
Bb
But one day, one day,
Ab
old boy got sick and he had to
come home. I don't have
to tell you what he found.
Bb
Ab
Oh, it hurt him so bad.
He said,
Bb
Ab
baby, mama, why?
That's all he could say.
But she said, oh, gone fool,
you doing it.
But the man wasn't doing it, but that's
the only excuse she could give him.
He said,
mama I can't take it I got to leave you I'm
gonna leave you well she tried to
straighten up she said she was
gonna straighten up she got a little job to
have it my way with the bills too
but that was just a sham
because he found it again and again and
Bb
Ab
sev en times he left this woman and
seven times he came back and he had
taken all that he could stand and the
Eight times that this went down, he said,
mama, I got to go.
Bb
Ab
He said, I'm leaving my heart right here.
Oh, I don't want to go,
but I got to leave you, mama.
And he was going down the highway.
I guess it was around 3 .30 in the morning.
He could hardly see the road,
the tears in his eyes.
He could barely see the sign and read on the side of the road,
the next town 125 miles away.
And these very words came into his mind.
He said,
By the time I get to
Eb
Phoenix
Bbsus4
She'll be rising
Bb
Bbsus4
Bb
Ab
Oh, and she'll find the note
Bbsus4
Eb

Ab
Bb
She'll laugh when
she leaves the park
Gm

Db

Bbsus4
Ab
Bbsus4
Oh, by the time
Ab
Bbsus4

And she'll probably stop at lunch just
Eb
Bb
Eb
to give her her sweet good -bye call
Ab
Bb
Oh, she'll hear all the fallin',
Gm
keep right on ringin' and ringin' and ringin' and ringin'
Cm
Fm
Oh, and ringin' off the wall
Db
Bb
Mama, mama, mama, that's all
Bbsus4
And by the time I get to
Eb
Omaha, she'll be sleepin',
Gm
Bbsus4
Eb
she'll turn soft and in her restless sleep, call my name out low.
Ab
Bb
Oh, then she'll cry, just to think,
Gm
Cm
I, I would really leave her
Fm
But time after time after time
Bbsus4
after time and time again
Bb
Eb
I tried to tell her so
Ab
But she was a non -believer
Fm
and she didn't know that
G
C
Gm
I, I would really go, she didn't
C
Gm
believe I would really go, oh no,
C
Gm
I hate to leave you baby, yes I do, oh
C
I really, really, really hate to go
But this part of my heart
C
just can't take no more
