[Intro]
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 fog, (?)
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.
