Louise chords by Paul Siebel

Paul Siebel

     G7
They said that Louise was not all bad,
C
It was written on the walls and window shades,
    G7
And though she'd act the little girl,
C
A deceiver don't believe her that's her trade.

       Sometimes a bottle perfume,
↑ ↑ ↑C
       Flowers and maybe some lace,
↑ ↑ ↑Em(5th)
       Men brought Louise ten-cent trinkets,
           G7(3rd)
Their intentions were easily traced.
C                      ↓     ↓   ↓G7
And every body knew at times she cried,
C

Ah but women like Louise well they get by.

G7

    C                      ↓    ↓  ↓G7
And every- body thought it kind of sad,
          C
when they found Louise in her room,
       C                   ↓     ↓     ↓G7
They'd always put her down below their kind,
           C
Still some cried when she died that afternoon.
↑ ↑ ↑C
       Louise rode home on the mail train,
↑ ↑ ↑C
      Some where to the South I heard them say,
↑ ↑ ↑Em(5th)
      Too bad it ended so ugly,
    G7
Too bad she had to go this way.
        C               ↓    ↓ ↓G7
And the wind is blowing cold tonight,
C
So good night Louise, goodnight.
