#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            D
asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me 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.

Solo

G       A7   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.
