B       E B E         B   E B E
Blue sky  upon the horizon
Private eye is on my trail
       E                         E7
And if I don't be there by morning
              B E B     E              B          E B E
You know that I   must have spent the night in jail

I have been running from Memphis to L.A
Had an appointment set sometime for today
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have gone the other way

Chorus:
D#m7                    G#m
Finding my way back to you girl
             B                  E
Lonely and blue and mistreated too
D#m7                  G#m
Sometimes I think of you girl
      C#m                       F#
Is it true that you think of me too?

I got a woman living in L.A
I got a woman waiting for my pay
And if I don't be there by morning
Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray

Chorus

I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill
I left her waiting, I hope she is waiting for me still
If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will
