Louise Chords

(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                A
They all said Louise was not half bad.        It was written on the walls and window shades
A                             B7                      D               E                     A
And how she'd act the little girl.              The deceiver, don't believe 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                     E
Men brought Louise ten-cent trinkets.          Their intentions were easily traced.
 
VERSE 2
      A                          B7                      D        E           A
Ahhh, everybody thought it kinda sad           When they found Louise in her room.
       A                            B7                    D              E              A
They'd all put her down below their kind,      Still some cried when she died this afternoon.
 
CHORUS 2
D           E           A                                    D        E          A
Louise rode home on the mail train,         Somewhere to the South, I heard them say.
D         E         F#m                             B7                         E
Too bad it ended so ugly.                           Too bad she had to go that way.
 
OUTRO
A                              B7                 D       E         A
But the wind is blowing cold tonight.        Goodnight, Louise, goodnight.
