Subject: Lyric add: One for the money
Alright,
So I can't find the damn song online.
I can still put in the lyrics, and throw down the gauntlet.
It is American, it was written in the '60's and I can't get the first name "Bob" out of my head. Alaska's Bob Pavitt?

As I travel all over this land

Ch:
It's one (g)for the money (em).
I'll sing (c/am) for a penny (d)
Two (g) for the show (em)
Any song (c/am)that I know (d)
Three (g) to get ready (em)
The wide/long (c/am)road is calling (d)
And (g)four to go (em), it's been good to know (d)you
And (g)four to go(em), we've a (am)long (d)way to go. Oh (f) (g)...

As (g)I travel (f)all (g)over this land (f)
There is one sad thing that I find,
When the wide road calls you must leave friends and all
Leaving (g) a song (d) behind, (g)for awhile(dm)
Leaving (am)a song (d) behind. (g)

Some value riches and some value fame.
Some value women and wine
But a song and a friend round each turn of the bond
Are riches I'd rather were mine, everytime
Are riches I'd rather were mine.

After I'm gone may my song linger on
And its echoes fall soft on your ear
May your friends(?) increase, may your joys never cease,
And your happiness grow every year, my friend
Your happiness grow every year

Okay, I've done my bit. It's been two and a half hours since I got swept up in the madness that is research, and found bupkiss.
NEXT!
Cheerio,
