Dollar

D
Daddy hugs his little man
     A
says son I’ve got to go
       G                               A
and he pulls out of the drive and disappears
        D
as they walk back in the house
    A
the young boy asks his mama
G                              A
where does daddy go when he leaves here
D
mama tells her little man
     A
your daddy’s got a job
            G                                 A
and when he goes to work they pay him for his time
         D
well the young boy gets to thinking
A
and he heads up to his bedroom
          G                               A
and comes running back with a quarter and four dimes

        G              A                  D
and says mama how much time will this buy me
        G               D                  C               A
is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street
G               F#                  Bm        A      G
if I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need
   Em         A         D
to spend some time with me

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

chorus:
    G             A                  D
and mama how much time will that buy me
      G                 D            C                A
is it enough to take me camping in a tent down by the creek
G               F#                  Bm        A     G
if I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need
   Em         A         D
to spend some time with me

G             A                  D
mama how much time will this buy me
      G                 D            C             A
is it enough for just an afternoon a day or a whole week
  G             F#             Bm             A     G
if I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need
   Em         A         D
to spend some time with me

D
mama takes her little man
A
sets him on her lap
    G                                     A
and starts dialing up some numbers on the phone
         D
she says daddy come home early
          A
you don’t have to chase that dollar
           G              A               D
cause your little man has got one here at home
