D
Well I heard steve earle had lots of wives
GA
About as many as cats have lives
D
Met him on his records and we're good friends
He writes a song for everyone
GA
They fall in love and before it's done
D
He writes an even better one when it ends
BmAG
Well I don't have to take your name
EmA
And you won't have to take the blame
[Chorus]
DG
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
AGD
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave
BmAG
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve
DGAD
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
[Verse 2]
D
Well I heard he loves each one the same
G
As much as ireland loves the rain
AD
Steve, it rains at my house everyday
He met 'em all in every port
G
Cause falling in love is a pilgrim sport
AD
And as long as I can be the pirate, i'm ok!
BmAG
You moved to the city. Baby, you had to go
EmA
But I love apples and I could learn to love the snow
[Chorus]
DG
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
AGD
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave
BmAG
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve
DGAD
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
[Bridge]
Come on!
BmAG
I could walk around in your favorite shoes
Bm * Bm * Bm*
Come on, just one line
AG
What do you got to lose?
A
And I don't bruise
[Chorus]
DG
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
AGD
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave
BmAG
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve
[Spoken]
N.C.
And the shirt that goes with it cause it smells like you
N.C.

N.C.
And a really small wedding, only 'bout 500 people
N.C.
Did I tell you I have kids?
N.C.
You're gonna love 'em
N.C.
They're gonna need to go to college

Do you like reggae? I love reggae

On tuesday nights, I like to go to trivia,
