Tous les matins au soleil, I will work 'til work is done
                   G             D/F#               G
Tous les matins au soleil, I did work 'til work was done

And one day, the foreman said, "Jean-Guy, we must let you go"

Oh Louise, I'm losing my head I'm losing my head


[Verse 3]
                            G               D/F#              G
My kids are small, four and three et la bouteille, she's mon amie
                             G                 D/F#                  G
I drink the rum 'til I can't see, it hides the shame Louise does not see
       D/F#                              G        C           G
A carousel turns in my head, and I can't hide, oh no, no, no, no
        D/F#                           Em                C
And the rage turned in my head, and Louise, I struck her down
            G           C         G         D/F#      G      C      G
Down on the ground, I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind

En Septembre soixante-trois, kids are gone and so is Louise
                 G           D/F#          G
Ontario they did go, near la ville de Toronto
       D/F#                           G      C          G
Now my tears they roll down, tous les jours, whoa-oh-oh-oh
        D/F#                    Em               C
And I remember the days and the promises that we made
      G       C        G       D/F#     G      C      G
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
                  G            D/F#            G
