Capo 3
Intro: 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
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 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 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
Bm A G A D
One more dollar, boys, I'm going home
