Gene Pitney - Twenty four hours from tulsa

^GDearest, darlin', I had to write to say that I won't be ^A7home any^Dmore 'cause ^Gsomething, happened, to me while I was drivin' home And I'm not the ^A7same any^Dmore

Oh, I was ^Conly twenty four hours from ^AmTulsa Ah, ^Conly one day away from your ^Amarms I ^Fsaw a welcoming ^Glight, and ^Fstopped to rest for the ^Gnight

And that is when I ^Gsaw her, as I, pulled in outside of the small ^A7motel, she was ^Dthere And so I ^Gwalked up, to her, asked where I could get something to eat, And she ^A7showed me ^Dwhere.

Oh, I was ^Conly, twenty four hours from ^AmTulsa Ah, ^Conly, one day away from your ^Amarms She ^Ftook me to the ^Gcafé, I^F asked her if she would^G stay, she said "OK"

Oh, I was ^Conly, twenty four hours from ^AmTulsa Ah, ^Conly, one day away from your ^Amarms The ^Fjukebox started to ^Gplay, and ^Fnight time turned into ^Gday, as we were dancin' ^GClosely, all of a sudden I lost control as I ^A7held her ^Dcharms And I ^Gcaressed her, kissed her, told her I'd die Before I would let her ^A7out of my ^Darms

Oh, I was ^Conly, twenty four hours from ^AmTulsa Ah, ^Conly, one day away from your ^Amarms I ^Fhate to do this to ^Gyou, but ^FI love somebody ^Gnew, what can I do? And I can ^Gnever, ^G7never, never---go ^Chome again
