Steal My Kisses

Steal My Kisses by Ben Harper
album: Burn to shine

This is a further correction. First of all, the album version is in G, not A. Secondly, I
originally thought it was G,C,D (or A,D,E) but further listening showed that the 2nd and 3rd
chords are minor. He definitely includes a slide up from Bb but you should listen to the
record. He mixes it up sometimes using 1 or 2 strings. It’s a little hard to hear exactly.
Also, some of the words in the previous chart were wrong.

CONTINUE THOSE CHORDS AND STRUMMING FOR THE REST OF THE SONG

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall it the sweetest soundin’ thing
and to see it fall on your simple country dress
it’s like heaven to me I must confess

cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
always have to steal my kisses from you
always have to steal my kisses from you
I always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I’ve been hanging round you for days
but when I lean in you just turn your head away
ohh no you didn’t mean that
she said ’ I love the way you think, but I hate the way you act

Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
always have to steal my kisses from you            x2 (1st time is acapella)
always to steal my kisses from you
I always have to steal my kisses from you
