Louise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well they all said Louise was not half [A]bad
It was [C]written on [D]the walls
and window [G]shades
And how she'd act the little [A]girl
A de[C]ceiver,
don't be[D]lieve her that's [G]her trade
[C]Sometimes a bot[D]tle of per[G]fume,
[C]Flowers and may[D]be some lac[G]e[C]
Men brought [D]Louise ten cent [Em]trinkets
[A]Their intentions were easily tra[D]ced
Yes and everybody knew at times
she cried
But women like Louise
they get by

[Verse 2]
[G]Well everybody thought it kind [A]of sad
When they [C]found Louise
[D]in her roo[G]m
They'd always put her
down below their [A]kind
Still some [C]cried when she [D]died
this [G]afternoon[C]
Louise rode [D]home on the [G]mail train
[C]Somewhere to the south
[D]I heard it sai[G]d[C]
Too bad it [D]ended so [Em]ugly,
Too [A]bad she had to go this [D]way
Ah but the [G]wind is blowing [A]cold tonight
So good [C]night [D]Louise, good [G]night
