Together, they evolved into ‘Admirable Crook’, a band with a distinctive sound that pushes the boundaries of conventional music genres. Their music resonates with people across the globe, and the band continues to captivate audiences with their innovative fusion of styles.

Title:

“One More Dime”

Full song lyrics:

(V)
[C] Used to walk [Am] down the line
[G] One more dime, [F] one more time

[C] She left me [Am] hanging dry
[G] No reason why, [F] no goodbye

(Chorus)
[G] Now I’m searching [F] for a sign,
[C] One more dime, [Am] one more time

[V]
[C] Beneath the city [Am] lights so bright
[G] I lost sight, [F] of the night

[C] Not a word, [Am] not a rhyme
[G] Just one dime, [F] to call her mine

(Chorus)
[G] Now I’m lost in [F] this design,
[C] One more dime, [Am] one more time

[Bridge]
[Am] Just a crook, [G] with a dream
[F] Running from, [C] what I’ve been

(Chorus)
[G] Need a chance to [F] realign,
[C] One more dime, [Am] one more time

(Outro)
[C] Used to walk [Am] down the line
[G] One last dime, [F] for the last time
