One More Dollar Chords

Capo 5th fret (E)
 
[Intro]
 
Am G F G   C
 
[Verse 1]
 
  C            G          C
A long time ago I left my home
      F  G       C
For a job in the fruit trees
      C                         G     C
But I miss those hills with the windy pines
      F  G           C
Their song seemed to suit me
 
[Verse 2]
 
     C            G      C
So I sent my wages to my home
          F  G      C
Said we'd soon be together
        C                   G       C
For the next good crop would pay my way
        F  G         C
And I'd come home forever
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G    F   G               C
One more dime to show for my day
Am  G    F     G              C
One more dollar and I'm on my way
       Am          F            G          C
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
       Am  G    F          G         C
'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home
       Am  G    F          G         C
 
[Verse 3]
 
   C                 G                 C
No work said the boss at the bunkhouse door
          F     G       C
There's a freeze on the branches
            C                    G       C
So when the dice came out at the bar downtown
  F     G              C
I rolled and I took my chances
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G    F   G               C
One more dime to show for my day
Am  G    F     G              C
One more dollar and I'm on my way
       Am          F            G          C
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
       Am  G    F          G         C
'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home
 
[Solo]
 
Am  G    F   G   C   (4X)
 
[Verse 4]
 
  C            G          C
A long time ago I left my home
       F  G        C
Just a boy passing twenty
          C                  G         C
Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer
       F   G            C
For my luck has turned against me
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G    F   G               C
One more dime to show for my day
Am  G    F     G              C
One more dollar and I'm on my way
       Am          F            G          C
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
       Am  G    F          G         C
'Cause one more dollar and I'm going home
 
Am  G    F             G         C
One more dollar, boys, I'm going home
