Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

     G+G           D MajorD
Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana

D MajorD            G+G
Runnin' and thumbin' all the way

G+G             C majorC
That started out wayout in California

C majorC                D MajorD
I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day

G+G                D MajorD
I covered all the beaches on the west coast

D MajorD         G+G
From Mexico Crason City Bay

G+G           C majorC
But Calilou was not in California

C majorC                 D MajorD
That's where her daddy came from by the way

C majorC                G+G
And by the way her mother was a cajun

C majorC                G+G
She came from New Orleans I've heard her say

C majorC                G+G
And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama

D MajorD                G+G
So I might find her there along the way

Chorus:

C majorC     G+G                  G+G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless

                D MajorD
Well they should have called you drifter

C majorC                    D MajorD      G+G
Yeah, they should have called you trouble instead of Calilou

Verse 2:

     G+G           D MajorD
I recall the first time that I saw her

D MajorD            G+G
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car

G+G             C majorC
Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune

C majorC                D MajorD
And I told her she should be a movie star

G+G                D MajorD
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari

D MajorD         G+G
She served my bowl of chili with a smile

G+G           C majorC
I said it's been a year since I last saw you

C majorC                 D MajorD
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles

C majorC                G+G
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy

C majorC                G+G
I held her in my arms the whole night long

C majorC                G+G
I whispered words like settle down and family

D MajorD                G+G
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone

Chorus:

C majorC     G+G                  G+G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless

G+G                D MajorD
And they should have call you drifter

C majorC                    D MajorD      G+G
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou


C majorC     G+G                  G+G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless

G+G                D MajorD
And they should have call you drifter

C majorC                    D MajorD      G+G
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
