CAPO 5. FRET

VERSE 1:
C             G           C
A long time ago I left my home
       F          C
For a job in the fruit trees
      C                           G      C
But I missed those hills with the windy pines
           F             C
For their song seemed to suit me

VERSE 2:
So I sent my wages to my home
And said we'd soon be together
For the next good crop would pay my way
And I would come home forever

CHORUS:
Am  G    F       G           C
One more dime to show for my day
Am  G    F          G          C
One more dollar and I'm on my way
       Am    G     F      G                C
When I reach those hills, boys, I'll never roam
Am  G    F       G              C
One more dollar and I'm going home

VERSE 3:
No work said the boss at the bunk house door,
There's a freeze on the branches,
So when the dice came out at the bar downtown,
I rolled and I took my chances

CHORUS:...

VERSE 4:
A long time ago I left my home
Just a boy passing twenty
Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer
For my luck has turned against me

CHORUS:...

One more dollar, boys I'm going home
