Louise - Bonnie Raitt Chords
Chords: A, B7, D, E, CHORUS, F#m, April
More chords by Bonnie Raitt
Genre: blues, rock, soul
(This song was originally written by Paul Seibel.
I rated this as intermediate because it really needs a controlled
fingerpicking style and the
F#m barre can be tricky to get right, but everything else about the song is
easy for a novice.)
VERSE 1
A B7 D E
They all said Louise was not half bad. It was written on the walls and
A
window shades
A B7 D E
And how she'd act the little girl. The deceiver, don't believe
A
her, that's her trade.
CHORUS 1
D E A D E A
Sometimes a bottle of perfume, Flowers, and maybe some lace.
D E F#m B7
Men brought Louise ten-cent trinkets. Their intentions were easily
E
traced.
VERSE 2
A B7 D E
Ahhh, everybody thought it kinda sad When they found Louise in her
A
room.
A B7 D E
They'd all put her down below their kind, Still some cried when she died
A
this afternoon.
CHORUS 2
D E A D E
Louise rode home on the mail train, Somewhere to the South, I heard
A
them say.
D E F#m B7
Too bad it ended so ugly. Too bad she had to go
E
that way.
OUTRO
A B7 D E A
But the wind is blowing cold tonight. Goodnight, Louise, goodnight.
