Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa chords
Gene Pitney (Burt Bacharach)

G A7 D
Dearest, darlin', I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
G
'cause something, happened, to me while I was drivin' home
A7 D
And I'm not the same anymore

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

G A7
And that is when I saw her, as I, pulled in outside of the small motel, she was
D
there
G
And so I walked up, to her, asked where I could get something to eat,
A7 D
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 café, I asked her if she would stay, she said "OK"

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
The jukebox started to play, and night time turned into day, as we were dancin'
G A7 D
Closely, all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms
G
And I caressed her, kissed her, told her I'd die
A7 D
Before I would let her out of my arms

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
I hate to do this to you, but I love somebody new, what can I do?
G G7 C
And I can never, never, never---go home again
