[Intro]
 Am   Dm/F   G   Am(2x)
[Verse 1]
My paper Ambride came all the way from Dm/FChina,
Golden GGate San Francisco Ambay,
spent a Amlifetime on Angel Dm/FIsland,
waiting Gfor our wedding Amday.
There's a fAmortune on Golden Dm/FMountain,
I staked my Gclaim there in the Amfall,
I left my Ambride on Angel IDm/Fsland,
She wrote these Gwords there on the Amwall.
[Chorus]
FOne more Glifetime, Fone more Glifetime,
FOne more Glifetime E7lovin' Amyou.
[Verse 2]
Workin' the Amgold fields in the high SDm/Fierra,
Early sGnow began to fAmall,
Burried Amtreasure for my Dm/Fdarling,
Under the rGedwood trees so Amtall.
Snowed in all Amwinter on golden Dm/Fmountain,
When I Greturned late in the Amspring,
My bride was Amgone from Angel Dm/FIsland,
No one knew Gwhere, no one knew Amwhen.
[Chorus]
FOne more Glifetime, Fone more Glifetime,
FOne more Glifetime E7lovin' Amyou.
[Verse 3]
Now I live my Amlife like a Chinese Dm/Fpainting,
Shadows Gwash against the Amsky,
Empty Ambrushstrokes for my Dm/Fdarling,
We never Gsaid our last Amgoodbye.
[Chorus]
FOne more Glifetime, Fone more Glifetime,
FOne more Glifetime E7lovin' Amyou.
[Outro]
 Am   Dm/F   G   Am(2x)
