Dearest  darling,

I had to write to say that I won't 
   A7        D
be home any..more.

                G
cause something happened to me

while I was driving home and I'm not
     A7      D
 the same anymore.

          C                     
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours 
      Am
from Tulsa,

    C                          
oh, only one day away from your 
 Am
arms.

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

               G
And that is when I saw her

as I pulled in outside of the small 
A7            D
motel she was there.

         G
And so I walked up to her

asked where I could get something to
         A7            D
 eat and she showed me where.

          C                     
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours 
      Am
from Tulsa,

    C                          
ah, only one day away from your 
 Am
arms.

    F              G       F     
She took me to the cafe, I asked 
                 G
her if she would stay.


G
She said, okay.

    F                  G         
The jukebox started to play, and 
F                      G
night time turned into day.


#3.

           G
As we were dancing closely,

all of a sudden I lost control as 
A7         D
I held her charms.

      G
And I caressed her, kissed her,

told her I'd die before I would let 
    A7        D
her out of my arms.

          C                     
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours 
      Am
from Tulsa,

     C                           
ahh, only one day away from your 
Am
arms.

  F                  G        
I hate to do this to you, but I 
F                G
found somebody new.

     G
What can I do?

          G                   G7  
And I can never, never, 
   C
never.....go home again.
