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
