D
Well I heard steve earle had lots of wives
G A
About as many as cats have lives
D
Met him on his records and we're good friends
He writes a song for everyone
G A
They fall in love and before it's done
D
He writes an even better one when it ends
Bm A G
Well I don't have to take your name
Em A
And you won't have to take the blame
[Chorus]
D G
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
A G D
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave
Bm A G
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve
D G A D
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
A D
Steve, it rains at my house everyday
He met 'em all in every port
G
Cause falling in love is a pilgrim sport
A D
And as long as I can be the pirate, i'm ok!
Bm A G
You moved to the city. Baby, you had to go
Em A
But I love apples and I could learn to love the snow
[Chorus]
D G
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me

I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave

Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
[Bridge]
Come on!
Bm A G
I could walk around in your favorite shoes
Bm * Bm * Bm*
Come on, just one line

What do you got to lose?
A
And I don't bruise
[Chorus]
D G
Steve earle, steve earle, please write a song for me
A G D
I promise I won't take a dime when it comes my time to leave
Bm A G
The others wanted your whole heart, but I just want your sleeve
