Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Dearest, darlin'
I had to write to say that I won't
be [Bm]home [B]anymore
[E]For something hap[A]pened to me
As I was driving home
And I'm not [B]the same anymore

[Verse 2]
[E]Oh, I was onl[D]y twenty-
four hours from [Bm]Tulsa
[D]Oh, only one day away from your [Bm]arms
I [G]saw the welcoming [A]light
And [G]stopped to rest for [A]the night
And [D]that is

[Verse 3]
[A]when I saw him
As I pulled in outside of a small [Bm]hotel
He [B]was [E]there
And so I [A]walked up to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And [B]he showed me [E]where

[Verse 4]
Oh, I was [D]only twenty- four
hours from [Bm]Tulsa
Oh, [D]only one day away from your [Bm]arms
He [G]took me to the [A]cafe
And he [G]asked me if I would [A]stay

[Interlude 1]
I said "Okay"
[A][B][E][A]
[B][E]

[Verse 5]
Oh, I was [D]only twenty- four
hours from [Bm]Tulsa[D]
Oh, only one day away from your [Bm]arms
The [G]jukebox started to [A]play
And [G]nighttime turned into [A]day
As we were dancing closely
All of a sudden I lost control
as [B]he held me [E]tight
And then he [A]kissed me, caressed me
Told me he would die before he
would let me [B]out of his arm[E]s

[Verse 6]
Oh, I was [D]only twenty- four hours
from [Bm]Tulsa[D]
Oh, only one day away from your [Bm]arms
I [G]hate to do this to [A]you
But [G]I've found somebody [A]new
What can I do?
An[D]d I could [A]never, never,
never go [D]home again

[Outro 1]
