ONE MORE NICKEL (key D) (Don Hooper © 2007)

     D                                      G


1. One more nickel   in the fortune telling machine


                   A                                                    D


One more nickel, and I’ll see what my life means


                  D                        Bm                             D   


Like the streams and the backroads that are written on


      Bm


my hand


              A                         G                                   D


It said good times the good times are goin to end


 


2. One more bottle lying broken on the floor


One more bottle leading to an open door


I never said goodbye, never told her why


The good times, the good times had to end


 


Refrain:


                      G                  A                   D


One more chance is all I ask to do it right


     Bm             A                     G


   One  more ticket for the road


          G                                                A               D


I am torn between desire and the need to be free


             Bm      A                              G               A


Of this story       that I haven’t told


 


3. One more day wakin’ up at the crack of dawn


Driving my way to the place that I was born


It’s been twenty some-odd years since that fortune telling machine


Said the good times the good times are goin to end


 


Refrain:


(Instrumental 1st part of refrain)


I am torn between desire and the need to be free


Of this story       that I haven’t told


 


4. One more nickel   in the fortune telling machine


One more nickel, and I’ll see what my life means


Pick up the pieces and put them back again


It says good times the good times have begun


It says good times the good times have begun
