Capo III *

Bm A G A   D D9 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
