The Dollar
By: Jamey Johnson


D MajorD                A augmentedA
Daddy hugs his little man, says son I?ve got to go
  G+G                A augmentedA
And pulls out of the drive and disappears
    D MajorD             A augmentedA
As they walk back in the house the young boy asks his mama
G+G              A augmentedA
Where does daddy go when he leaves here
D MajorD                A augmentedA
Mama tells her little man, Your daddy?s got a job
      G+G                 A augmentedA
And when he goes to work they pay him for his time
     D MajorD             A augmentedA
Well the young boy gets to thinking and he heads up to his bedroom
   G+G                A augmentedA
Comes running back with a quarter and four dimes

Chorus 1:
     G+G       A augmentedA         D MajorD
And says mama how much time will this buy me
    G+G        D MajorD         C majorC        A augmentedA
Is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street
G+G        F#F#         B minorBm    A augmentedA   G+G
If I?m a little short then how much more does daddy need
  E minorEm     A augmentedA     D MajorD
To spend some time with me

D MajorD                A augmentedA
The young boy tells his mama now I know daddy?s busy
   G+G                 A augmentedA
Cause most times when he gets home it?s dark outside
       D MajorD            A augmentedA
But tell him I?ve got me some pennies saved up from the tooth fairy
   G+G                A augmentedA
And I keep ?em in my piggy bank and I believe there?s thirty-five


Chorus 2:

     G+G       A augmentedA         D MajorD
And says mama how much time will this buy me
    G+G        D MajorD      C majorC        A augmentedA
Is it enough to take me campin' in a tent down by the creek
G+G        F#F#         B minorBm    A augmentedA   G+G
If I?m a little short then how much more does daddy need
  E minorEm     A augmentedA     D MajorD
To spend some time with me


Chorus 3:

G+G       A augmentedA         D MajorD
Mama how much time will this buy me
    G+G         D MajorD      C majorC       A augmentedA
Is it enough for just an afternoon a day or a whole week
G+G        F#F#         B minorBm    A augmentedA   G+G
If I?m a little short then how much more does daddy need
  E minorEm     A augmentedA     D MajorD
To spend some time with me

D MajorD             A augmentedA
Mama takes her little man sets him on her lap
  G+G               A augmentedA
And starts dialing up some numbers on the phone
     D MajorD                A augmentedA
She says daddy come home early you don?t have to chase that dollar
   G+G                A augmentedA
Cause your little man has got one here at home
