Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F]

[Verse 1]
[F]Dearest darling I had to write to say
that I won't be [G]home anymore
[C]'Cause something hap[F]pened to
me while I was driving home
And I'm not the [G]same [C]anymore
Oh, I was [Bb]only twenty
four hours from [Gm]Tulsa
Ah, [Bb]only one day away from your [Gm]arms
I [Eb]saw a welcoming [F]light and
stopped to [Eb]rest for [F]the night

[Verse 2]
And that is [F]when I saw her as I pulled in outside
of the small [G]motel she was [C]there
And so I [F]walked up to her,
asked where I could get something to eat
And [G]she showed me [C]where.
Oh, I was [Bb]only twenty four hours from [Gm]Tulsa
[Bb]Ah, only one day away from your [Gm]arms
She took [Eb]me to t[F]he café, I a[Eb]sked her if she would st[F]ay,

[Interlude 1]
she said "OK"
[F][G][C][F]
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I was [Bb]only twenty four hours from [Gm]Tulsa
Ah, [Bb]only one day away from your [Gm]arms
The [Eb]jukebox started to [F]play and [Eb]night time
turned into [F]day as we were dancing
Closely, all of a sudden I lost
control as [G]I held her charms
[C]And I car[F]essed her, kissed her,
told her I'd die
Before I would let her [G]out of my [C]arms

[Verse 4]
Oh, I was [Bb]only twenty four hours from [Gm]Tulsa
[Bb]Ah, only one day away from your [Gm]arms
I hate [Eb]to do this to y[F]ou but I l[Eb]ove somebody n[F]ew,
what can I do?
And I can never, never, never go [Bb]home again.

[Outro 1]
[Bb]
