Chords with lyrics
LOUISE
written by Paul Siebel sung by Linda Ronstadt
capo up 2 for A augmentedA
G+G A7A7
Well, they all said Louise was not half bad
C majorC D MajorD G+G
It was written on the walls and window shades
G+G A7A7
And how she'd act the little girl
C majorC D MajorD G+G
The deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Flowers and maybe some lace
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
A7A7 D MajorD
Their intentions were easily traced
G+G A7A7
Yeah and everybody knew at times she cried
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Ah but women like Louise they get by
G+G A7A7
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
C majorC D MajorD G+G
When they found Louise in her room
G+G A7A7
They'd always put her down below their kind
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Louise rode home on the mail train
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
Too bad it ended so ugly
A7A7 D MajorD
Too bad she had to go this way
G+G A7A7
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Well, goodnight, Louise goodnight
