Tom Waits - Louise (Tell It To Me)
(Orphans studio version, 2006)
[Verse 1]
C
They say you're seeing someone, you're wearing his ring
G
They say you laughed when you heard my name
They say he takes you dancing, he holds you so near
C
They say he'll buy you anything
C
Tell me am I foolish, I don't believe these stories
C C7 F
And I'll be coming home soon
[Chorus]
F C
Louise, Louise, if it's true
G G7 C
Tell it to me
[Verse 2]
C
I know, you will not see me, but I know you have a daughter
G
And I hear she has my eyes
They say she calls him "father", and he's proud of her
C
And she believes all of your lies
C
But for all your faithless beauty, I'd give all my tomorrows
C C7 F
And if you're still thinking of me
[Chorus]
F C
Louise, Louise, if it's true
G G7 C
Tell it to me
C G
G C
C C7 F
F C
G G7 C
[Chorus]
F C
Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true
G G7 C
Tell it to me
F C
Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true
G G7 C
Tell it to me
