Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 A long  time ago  I left my home
 For a job  in the fruit  trees
 But I miss  those hills with the windy pines
Their  song seemed  to suit me
 So I sent  my wages  to my home
 Said we'd soon  be together
 For the next  good crop would  pay my way
 And I'd come  home forever
One more dime  to show for my day
One more dollar  and I'm on my way
 When I reach  those hills,  boys, I'll  never roam
 'Cause one more dollar  and I'm  going home
 No work  said the boss  at the bunkhouse door
 There's a freeze  on the branches
 So when the dice  came out at the bar  downtown
 I rolled  and I took my chances
One more dime  to show for my day
One more dollar  and I'm on my way
 When I reach  those hills,  boys, I'll  never roam
 'Cause one more dollar  and I'm  going home
 A long  time ago  I left my home
 Just a boy  passing twenty
 Could you spare  a coin and a Christian prayer
 For my luck  has turned against  me
One more dime  to show for my day
One more dollar  and I'm on my way
 When I reach  those hills,  boys, I'll  never roam
 'Cause one more dollar  and I'm  going home
One more dollar,  boys, I'm  going home
