Steve Earle - Once you love

^DA long time ago ^Gthere lived a man ^DHe had the world in the ^Apalm of his hand ^GSultans and kings beat a ^Apath to his door ^GHe had everything but he ^Astill wanted more ^DOne day in spring came a ^Glady so fair ^DHe'd never looked on a ^Abeauty so rare ^GBut he didn't trust her so he ^Alocked her away ^GAnd his gold lost its luster when ^Alove died that day

^GOnce you ^Dlove, o^Cnce you trust ^Git ^GOnce you ^Dgive your ^Csoul is ^Gbare ^GOne false ^Dmove and you ^Cknow you're ^Gbusted ^GOnce you ^Dlove you ^Gcare ^A

^DI knew an old man who ^Glived all alone In a ^Dsad Iittle house at the ^Aend of the road He ^Gsat on his front porch in an ^Aold rocking chair And ^Geveryone swore he'd gone ^Acrazy down there But ^Dno one comes near so ^Ghow could they know He ^Dlost someone dear to him ^Aonce long ago He ^Gremembers the laughter and ^Astill tastes the tears And he ^Gstill calls her name out after ^Aall of these years

^GOnce you ^Dlove, o^Cnce you trust ^Git ^GOnce you ^Dgive your ^Csoul is ^Gbare ^GOne false ^Dmove and you ^Cknow you're ^Gbusted ^GOnce you ^Dlove you ^Gcare
