one more dollar chords

capo iii *

Bm A G A D Dsus2 D

D A D
a long time ago i left my home
G A D
for a job in the fruit trees
D A D
but i miss those hills with the windy pines
G A D
their song seemed to suit me

D A D
so i sent my wages to my home
G A D
said we’d soon be together
D A D
for the next good crop would pay my way
G A D
and i’d come home forever

Bm A G A D
one more dime to show for my day
Bm A G A D
one more dollar and i’m on my way
Bm A G D
when i reach those hills , boys , i’ll never roam
Bm A G A D
’cause one more dollar and i’m going home

D A D
no work said the boss at the bunkhouse door
G A D
there’s a freeze on the branches
D A D
so when the dice came out at the bar downtown
G A D
i rolled and i took my chances

D A D G A D D A D G A D

D A D
a long time ago i left my home
G A D
just a boy passing twenty
D A D
could you spare a coin and a christian prayer
G A D
for my luck has turned against me

Bm A G A D
one more dollar , boys , i’m going home
