Well, I (D)heard Steve Earle had lots of wives a-(G)bout as many as cats have lives

(A) He writes and even better one when it (D)ends
(Bm) Well, I don't (A)have to take your (G) name
(Em) You won't have to take the (A)blame

Steve (D)Earle, Steve Earle, please (G)write a song for me
I (A)promise I won't take a dime, when it (G)comes my time to (D)leave
The (D)other's wanted your whole heart, but (Bm)I just (A)want your (G)sleeve
Steve (D)Earle, Steve Earle, please (G)write a (A)song for (D)me

Well, I (D)heard he loves each one the same as (G)much as Ireland loves the rain
(A) Steve, it rains at my house (D)everyday
(D)Met 'em all in every port, 'cause (G)fallin' in love is a pilgrim sport
(A) Long as I can be the pirate, I'm (D)okay
You (Bm)moved to the city, (A)baby, you had to (G)go
But (Em)I love apples, and I could (A)learn to love the snow

(Spoken)
And the shirt that goes with it, 'cause it smells like you
And you know I like to sleep in that, in a vacation house at the beach
And a really small wedding, only 'bout three hundred people
Did I tell you I have kids? You're gonna love 'em
They're gonna need to go to college
Do you like reggae? I love reggae
On Tuesday nights, I like to go to trivia
So that's your night to go out with the boys and then you can... Is this thing on?
