Once You Love Steve Earle
Intro: DGDA X 2
[D]A long time ago [G]there lived a man
[D]He had the world in the [A]palm of his hand
[G]Sultans and kings beat a [A]path to his door
[G]He had everything but he [A]still wanted more
[D]One day in spring came a [G]lady so fair
[D]He'd never looked on a [A]beauty so rare
[G]But he didn't trust her so he [A]locked her away
[G]And his gold lost its luster when [A]love died that day
CHORUS:
[G]Once you [D]love, o[C]nce you trust [G]it
[G]Once you [D]give your [C]soul is [G]bare
[G]One false [D]move and you [C]know you're [G]busted
[G]Once you [D]love you [G]care [A]
[D]I knew an old man who [G]lived all alone
In a [D]sad Iittle house at the [A]end of the road
He [G]sat on his front porch in an [A]old rocking chair
And [G]everyone swore he'd gone [A]crazy down there
But [D]no one comes near so [G]how could they know
He [D]lost someone dear to him [A]once long ago
He [G]remembers the laughter and [A]still tastes the tears
And he [G]still calls her name out after [A]all of these years
CHORUS:
[G]Once you [D]love, o[C]nce you trust [G]it
[G]Once you [D]give your [C]soul is [G]bare
[G]One false [D]move and you [C]know you're [G]busted
[G]Once you [D]love you [G]care
You can [C]keep it all inside [G] [D]
You can [C]run but you can't hide [G] [D]
When you [C]think it's safe outside
Look behind you, [D]love will find you[G] [D]
CHORUS:
[G]Once you [D]love, o[C]nce you trust [G]it
[G]Once you [D]give your [C]soul is [G]bare
[G]One false [D]move and you [C]know you're [G]busted
[G]Once you [D]love you [G]care
[C]Once you trust [G]it[G] [D]
[C]Once you care [G] [G] [D](Repeat and fade)
