The Dollar – Jamey Johnson
(D) Daddy hugs his little man, says (A) son I’ve got to go
And he (G) pulls out of the drive and disap-(A)-pears
As they (D) walk back in the house, the (A) young boy asks his mama
(G) Where does daddy go when he leaves (A) here
(D) Mama tells her little man, your (A) daddy’s got a job
And when he (G) goes to work they pay him for his (A) time
Well the (D) young boy gets to thinking and he (A) heads up to his bedroom
Comes (G) running back with a quarter and four (A) dimes
And says (G) mama how much (A) time will this buy (D) me
Is it e-(G)-nough to take me (D) fishing or throw a (C) football in the (A) street
(G) If I’m a little (F#) short then how much (Bm) more does (A) daddy (G) need
To (Em) spend some (A) time with (D) me
(D) The young boy tells his mama, now I (A) know daddy’s busy
Cause (G) most times when he gets home it’s dark out-(A)-side
But (D) tell him I’ve got me some pennies saved (A) up from the tooth fairy
And I (G) keep ‘em in my piggy bank and I believe there’s thirty-(A)-five
And (G) mama how much (A) time will that buy (D) me
Is it e-(G)-nough to take me (D) camping in a (C) tent down by the (A) creek
(G) If I’m a little (F#) short then how much (Bm) more does (A) daddy (G) need
To (Em) spend some (A) time with (D) me
Brief break (G) (F#m) (Bm) (G) (Bm) (A) (D)
(G) Mama how much (A) time will this buy (D) me
Is it e-(G)-nough for just an (D) afternoon, a (C) day or a whole (A) week
(G) If I’m a little (F#) short then how much (Bm) more does (A) daddy (G) need
To (Em) spend some (A) time with (D) me
Mama takes her little man, (A) sets him on her lap
Starts (G) dialing up some numbers on the (A) phone
She says (D) daddy come home early, you don’t (A) have to chase that dollar
Cause your (G) little man has got one here at (D) home
