The Dollar Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Daddy hugs his little man,
says [A]son I've got to go
He [G]pulls out of the drive and disappears
[A]As they wal[D]k back in the[A] house
the young boy asked his mama
[G]Where does daddy go
when he [A]leaves here

[Verse 2]
[D]Well mama tells her little man your
[A]daddy's got a job
And when he [G]goes to work
they pay him for his [A]time
The [D]young boy gets to thinkin'
[A]heads up to his bedroom
Comes [G]runnin' back with a
quarter and [A]four dimes

[Verse 3]
Says [G]mama how much [A]time will this [D]buy me
Is it [G]enough to take [D]me fishin'
or throw a [C]football in [A]the street
[G]If I'm a little sho[F#]rt then how
much [Bm]more does [A]daddy [G]need
To [Em]spend [D]some [A]time with me
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Young boy tells his mama now
[A]I know daddy's busy
Cause most [G]times when he gets
home it's dark out[A]side
But tell him [D]I've got me some pennies
saved [A]up from the tooth fairy
And I [G]keep â??em in a piggy bank
and I be[A]lieve there's thirty-five

[Verse 5]
[G]And And mama how much
[A]time will that [D]buy me
Is it [G]enough to take [D]me campin'
in a [C]tent down by [A]the creek
[G]If I'm a little sho[F#]rt then how
much [Bm]more does [A]daddy [G]need
To [Em]spend [D]some [A]time [D]with me
[G][F#][Bm][A][G][Em][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Mama how much tim[A]e will
this [D]buy me
[G]Is it enough [D]for just an afternoon
a [C]day or [A]a whole week
[G]If I'm a little [F#]short then how
much [Bm]more does [A]daddy [G]need
To [Em]spend [D]some [A]time [D]with me

[Verse 7]
[D]
Mama takes her little [A]man
sets him on her lap
Starts [G]dialin' up some numbers
on [A]the phone
Says [D]daddy come home you don't
[A]have to chase that dollar
Cause your [G]little man has
got [D]one here at home
[A]
