Dear-est dar-lin’ I had to write
-4 -3 3 -2* 2 -1 1* -1 2 -1
to say that I won’t be home an-y-more
3 -3 3 -3 -4 -3 -4
’cause some-thing hap-pened to me
-3 -4 -5 4 -4 -3
while I was driv-in’ home
3 -2* 2 -1 1* -1 2 -1
And I’m not the same an-y-more
3 3 -3 -4 4 -4 4 4 4 3 4 -5 6
Oh, I was on-ly twen-ty four hours from Tul-sa
-5 5-4 4 -4 4 -4 4 3 4 -5 -5 6
Ah, on-ly one day a-way from your arms
5 -6 6 -5 5 6 -5
I saw a wel-com-ing light
3 7 -6 6 -5 5 -5
and stopped to rest for the night

-4 4 -4 -3 -4 -3 -4
And that is when I saw her
-3 -4 -5 5 -4 -3 3 -2* 2 -1 1*
as I pulled in out-side of a small mo-tel
-1 2 1*
she was there
3 3 -3 -3 -4 -3 -4
And so I walked up to her,
-3 -4 -5 4 -4 -3 3 -2* 2
asked where I could get some-thing to eat
-1 1* -1 2 -1
And she showed me where.

Oh, I was on-ly twen-ty four hours from Tul-sa
-5 5-4 4 -4 4 -4 4 3 4 -5 -5 6
Ah, on-ly one day a-way from your arms
5 -6 6 -5 5 6 -5
She took me to the ca-fe,
3 7 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 6 -5
I asked her if she would stay, she said “O-K”

3 3 -3 -4 4 -4 4 4 4 3 4 -5 6
Oh, I was on-ly twen-ty four hours from Tul-sa
-5 5-4 4 -4 4 -4 4 3 4 -5 -5 6
Ah, on-ly one day a-way from your arms
5 -6 6 -5 5 6 -6 3
A juke-box start-ed to play and
7 -6 6 -5 5 -5
night turned in-to day
-4 4 -4 -3 -4
as we were danc-in’
-3 -4 -3 -4 -5 4 -4 -3 3 -2* 2
Close-ly, all of a sud-den I lost con-trol
-1 1* -1 2 -1
as I held her charms
3 3 -3 -3 -4 -3 -4
And I ca-ressed her, kissed her,
-3 -4 -5 4
told her I’d die
-4 -3 3 -2* 2 -1 1* -1 2 -1
Be-fore I would let her out of my arms

3 3 -3 -4 4 -4 4 4 4 3 4 -5 6
Oh, I was on-ly twen-ty four hours from Tul-sa
-5 5-4 4 -4 4 -4 4 3 4 -5 -5 6
Ah, on-ly one day a-way from your arms
5 -6 6 -5 5 6 -5
I hate to do this to you
3 7 -6 6 -5 5 -5
but I love some-bod-y new,
6 -5 6 -5
what can I do?
4 4 -4 -3 -4 -3 -4 -3 -4
And I can nev-er, nev-er, nev-er
-3 3 -2 2
go home a-gain
