24 Hours From Tulsa

Gene Pitney
 G
 Dearest  darling,

 A7D
I had to write to say that I won't be home any..more.

 G
cause something happened to me

 A7D
while I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore.
 CAm
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 CAm
oh, only one day away from your arms.

 FGFG
I saw a welcoming light, and stopped to rest for the night.

 G
And that is when I saw her

 A7D
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.
 CAm
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 CAm
ah, only one day away from your arms.

 FGFG
She took me to the cafe, I asked her if she would stay.

 G
 She said, okay.

 DCAm
 Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 CAm
ahh, only one day away from your arms.

 FGFG
The jukebox started to play, and night time turned into day.

 G
As we were dancing closely,

 A7D
all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms.

 G
And I caressed her, kissed her,

 A7D
told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms.

 CAm
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 CAm
ahh, only one day away from your arms.

 FGFG
I hate to do this to you, but I found somebody new.

 G
What can I do?
 GG7C
And I can never, never, never.....go home again.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
