ONE MORE DOLLAR (Gillian Welch / David Rawlings)from "REVIVAL"
G D G
A long time ago I left my home
C G
For a job in the fruit trees
G D G
But I missed those hills with the windy pines
C G
For their song seemed to suit me
G D G
So I sent my wages to my home
C G
And said we'd soon be together
G D G
For the next good crop would pay my way
C G
And I would come home forever
CHORUS:
Em D/F# C D G
One more dime to show for my day
Em D/F# C D G
One more dollar and I'm on my way
Em D/F# C D G
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
Em D/F# C D G
One more dollar and I'm going home
VERSE 3:
G D G
No work said the boss at the bunk house door,
C G
There's a freeze on the branches,
G D G
So when the dice came out at the bar downtown,
C G
I rolled and I took my chances
(CHORUS)
G D G
A long time ago I left my home
C G
Just a boy passing twenty
G D G
Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer
C G
For my luck has turned against me
(CHORUS)
One more dollar, boys I'm going home
