Steve Earle - Once You Love

once you love – steve earle

intro : dgda x 2

D G
a long time ago there lived a man
D A
he had the world in the palm of his hand
G A
sultans and kings beat a path to his door
G A
he had everything but he still wanted more
D G
one day in spring came a lady so fair
D A
he’d never looked on a beauty so rare
G A
but he didn’t trust her so he locked her away
G A
and his gold lost its luster when love died that day

chorus :
G D C G
once you love , once you trust it
G D C G
once you give your soul is bare
G D C G
one false move and you know you’re busted
G D G A
once you love you care

D G
i knew an old man who lived all alone
D A
in a sad iittle house at the end of the road
G A
he sat on his front porch in an old rocking chair
G A
and everyone swore he’d gone crazy down there
D G
but no one comes near so how could they know
D A
he lost someone dear to him once long ago
G A
he remembers the laughter and still tastes the tears
G A
and he still calls her name out after all of these years

chorus :
G D C G
once you love , once you trust it
G D C G
once you give your soul is bare
G D C G
one false move and you know you’re busted

you can keep it all inside
C G D
you can run but you can’t hide

when you think it’s safe outside

look behind you , love will find you
