The Dollar

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


Chorus 1:
         G             A       
And says mama how much time will 
           D
this buy me
       G                D         
Is it enough to take me fishing or
         C               A
 throw a football in the street

If I’m a little short then how

To spend some time with me

D                                
The young boy tells his mama now I

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

And says mama how much time will 
           D

       G                D         
Is it enough to take me campin' in
   C                A
 a tent down by the creek
G               F#               
If I’m a little short then how

To spend some time with me

Mama how much time will this buy me
       G                 D        
Is it enough for just an afternoon
   C              A
 a day or a whole week
G               F#               
If I’m a little short then how

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