On the Port Putley list, someone asked for the chords to "Me and Esther".
Here's my shot at the chords. If you find mistakes, please speak up.
I won't be offended.

Me and Esther
By Fred Eaglesmith

[E] Me and Esther, we [A] got us an old [E] car.
Stole it from some crack addict the first night I met [B] her.
And it [E] burns too much gasoline, and it [A] runs a little [E] hard.
But Esther says it makes her feel like [B] she's a movie [E] star

Chorus
[A] Me and Esther, we ain't lovers, you [E] know.
We sleep in motel rooms, we both sleep in our [B] clothes.
[A] Esther calls herself Simone; I'm [E] her Jean-Paul she [A] says.
But [E] I don't know what that means so [B] I just look a- [E] way.

[continue same chord pattern]

Esther's from Sequoia, and her daddy drank too much.
And when he did his wandering eyes became a sick man's touch.
When Esther talks about it the tears fall down in floods.
She left him on the doorstep in a pool of blood.

(Chorus)

Last night Esther was sleeping, and I went out on my own.
I held up Stetson's Jewelry store, at the point of a gun.
They offered it all to me but I only took one thing.
And tonight I'm giving Esther a brand new diamond ring.

(Chorus)
I don't know what that means so I just look away.
