Twenty-four Hours From Tulsa:
Gene Pitney.
#1.
G
Dearest darling,
A7 D
I had to write to say that I won't be home any..more.
G
cause something happened to me
A7 D
while I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore.
C Am
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
C Am
oh, only one day away from your arms.
F G F G
I saw a welcoming light, and stopped to rest for the night.
#2.
G
And that is when I saw her
A7 D
as I pulled in outside of the small motel she was there.
G
And so I walked up to her
A7
asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me
D
where.
C Am
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
C Am
ah, only one day away from your arms.
F G F G
She took me to the cafe, I asked her if she would stay.
G
She said, okay.
D C Am
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
C Am
ahh, only one day away from your arms.
F G F G
The jukebox started to play, and night time turned into day.
#3.
G
As we were dancing closely,
A7 D
all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms.
G
And I caressed her, kissed her,
A7 D
told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms.
C Am
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
C Am
ahh, only one day away from your arms.
F G F G
I hate to do this to you, but I found somebody new.
G
What can I do?
G G7 C
And I can never, never, never.....go home again.
