One More Dollar chords Gillian Welch 1996 https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-one-more-dollar-by-gillian-welch/ Capo III * [Intro] Bm A G A D Dsus2 D [Verse 1]
  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
[Verse 2]
     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
[Chorus]
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          G            A          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 [Verse 3]
   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
[Chorus]
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          G            A          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
[Solo] Bm A G A D (4X) [Verse 4]
  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
[Chorus]
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          G            A          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
