[D] Steve's been gone since 1984, [C] but last year he got a [C#m] number one hit [N] with Go Cubs Go.
After 112 years, the Cubs finally [C] won the World Series and Steve went back to the top of the [G#] charts.
[C#m] The guy's been dead for 35 years and he's still getting [A#] more hits than [G] me.
[E] He [Bm] was a wonderful friend [E] and a great guitar player and [G] entertainer.
[C] He had a way of picking the guitar and this [A] particular [E] song made it sound like I was [C] playing the good [B] parts, but it was him, not [E] me.
[C#]
I always dedicate this song [E] to Steve [C] every night when I sing [E] it.
But I'm sure Steve wouldn't mind me [C#] dedicating it [E] to a bad year for singing songwriters last year.
So [D#m] I'd like to also [B] dedicate this to the wonderful [Fm] songwriting [F#m] of Guy [B] Clark.

[E] I can't forget the way they [A] robbed me [B] of my childhood [E] souvenirs.
[D#]
[B] Memories [E] that can't be bought, [B] that can't be won, that can't be carved [E] as a frame.
[B]
Well it took me years [E] to get those souvenirs [A] and I don't know how they slipped [B] away from me.

Broken hearts and [A] dirty windows, [B]
made my life difficult [E] to save.
That's why last night [A] and this morning [B]
always looked the [E] same to me.
And I ain't written no [A] love letters, [B] for they always bring [E] me tears.
I can't forget the way they [A] robbed me of [B] my sweetheart [E] souvenirs.
