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
