Louise chords by Linda Ronstadt

LOUISE
written by Paul Siebel sung by Linda Ronstadt
capo up 2 for A

G                    A7
Well, they all said Louise was not half bad
   C        D        G
It was written on the walls and window shades
G               A7
And how she'd act the little girl
   C       D            G
The deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade

C      D      G
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
C      D     G
Flowers and maybe some lace
C      D        Em
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
    A7          D
Their intentions were easily traced

    G              A7
Yeah and everybody knew at times she cried
   C      D        G
Ah but women like Louise they get by


G                 A7
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
     C    D       G
When they found Louise in her room
 G                   A7
They'd always put her down below their kind
      C        D       G
Still some cried when she died this afternoon

C      D        G
Louise rode home on the mail train
C        D         G
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
C     D     Em
Too bad it ended so ugly
  A7          D
Too bad she had to go this way

     G           A7
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
   C     D     G
Well, goodnight, Louise goodnight
