[Verse 1]
G C
I had a love he was mine
G C
Said he'd love me all the time
G D7 D7
I was sure our love was pure if love can be
G C
Then one morning without warning
G C
Truth came calling on me
G D7 G
And her name was Louise

[Verse 2]
D7 G C
I needn't tell you what she said
G C
I just wanted to be dead
G D7
For she didn't show mercy for me
G C
You should've seen her walk away
G C
Into his waiting arms that day
G D7 G
And I watched him stopped to kiss Louise

[Verse 3]
C G C
The hour was late the night was warm
G C
I hid the bundle beneath my arm
G D7
The thought of what I'd soon be doing made me freeze
G C
But without fear I found them there
G C
Just how and where I knew they'd be
G D7 G
Sleeping cradled in his arms was Louise
(Key change capo 3 to play with video)
[Verse 4]
D7 G C
Now they close those heavy doors
G C
I'll never leave here anymore
G D7
But I dare not beg forgiveness on my knees
G C
For it was done with careful plans
G C
She'll never steal another man
G D7 G C G
For tomorrow they'll bury Louise
