Verse 1:
        D[G]earest  darling
        I had to write to say that I won't be h[A7]ome anym[D]ore
        'Cause something h[G]appened   to me
        While I was driving home and I'm not the s[A7]ame anym[D]ore
Chorus 1:
        Oh, I was o[C]nly twenty-four hours from [Am]Tulsa
        Ah, only on[C]e day away from your arms[Am]
        I s[F]aw a welcoming ni[G]ght
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
        Go h[C]ome again
          [C]          (home)
