  	 G

  	Dearest  darling

  	                                       A7      D

  	I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore

  	                  G

  	'Cause something happened   to me

  	                                          A7      D

  	While I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore

  

  Chorus 1:

  

  	           C                          Am

  	Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

  	           C                          Am

  	Ah, only one day away from your arms

  	   F                G

  	I saw a welcoming night

  	      F                       G [N.C.]

  	And stopped to rest for the night

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	And that is when I   saw her

  	As I pulled in outside of the small hotel she was there

  	And so I walked up   to her

  	Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where

  

  Chorus 2:

  

  	Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

  	Ah, only one day away from your arms

  	She took me to the cafe

  	    F                     G [N.C.]

  	I asked her if she would stay

  	[G   G      G  G]         [single notes; acoustic bass]

  	She said   "O. K."

  

  Instrumental break:

  

  	(orchestral break over verse chords)

  

  Chorus 3 [as per chorus 1]:

  

  	Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

  	Ah, only one day away from your arms

  	The jukebox started to play

  	And nighttime turned into day

  

  Verse 3:

  

  	As we were dancing   closely

  	All of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms

  	And I caressed her   kissed her

  	Told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms

  

  Chorus 4 [as per chorus 2]:

  

  	Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

  	Ah, only one day away from your arms

  	I hate to do this to you

  	But I love somebody new

  	What can   I do?

  

  Coda:

  

  	           G                    G7 [xx5767] [N.C.]

  	And I can never, never, never

  	    C

  	Go home again

  

  	  C

  	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  /
