Am Dm/F G Am (2x)

[Verse 1]
         Am                          Dm/F
My paper bride came all the way from China,
       G                  Am
Golden Gate San Francisco bay,
        Am                Dm/F
spent a lifetime on Angel Island,
        G               Am
waiting for our wedding day.

           Am               Dm/F
There's a fortune on Golden Mountain,
            G                  Am
I staked my claim there in the fall,
          Am              Dm/F
I left my bride on Angel Island,
                G                  Am
She wrote these words there on the wall.


[Chorus]
F        G         F        G
One more lifetime, one more lifetime,
F        G       E7      Am
One more lifetime lovin' you.


[Verse 2]
            Am                       Dm/F
Workin' the gold fields in the high Sierra,
       G             Am
Early snow began to fall,
        Am              Dm/F
Burried treasure for my darling,
           G              Am
Under the redwood trees so tall.

              Am               Dm/F
Snowed in all winter on golden mountain,
       G                    Am
When I returned late in the spring,
             Am              Dm/F
My bride was gone from Angel Island,
            G                  Am
No one knew where, no one knew when.


[Chorus]
F        G         F        G
One more lifetime, one more lifetime,
F        G       E7      Am
One more lifetime lovin' you.


[Verse 3]
              Am                  Dm/F
Now I live my life like a Chinese painting,
        G                Am
Shadows wash against the sky,
      Am                  Dm/F
Empty brushstrokes for my darling,
         G             Am
We never said our last goodbye.


[Chorus]
F        G         F        G
One more lifetime, one more lifetime,
F        G       E7      Am
One more lifetime lovin' you.
