[Verse]
                     G           D                 G
Tous les matins au soleil I will work 'til work is done
                     G          D                  G
Tous les matins au soleil I did work 'til work was done
        D7                          G       D7           G
And one day, the foreman said "Jean-Guy, we must let you go"
Continues after the ad
           D7                         Em      C
Et pis mon nom, y est pas bon, at the mill anymore

Oh Louise, I'm losing my head I'm losing my head

[Verse]
                            G              D                  G
My kids are small, four and three et la bouteille, she's mon amie
                             G
I drink the rum 'til I can't see,
             D                     G
It hides the shame Louise does not see
         D7                               G        D7          G
The carousel turns in my head and I can't hide, oh no, no, no, no
        D7                            Em                C
And the rage turned in my head and Louise, I struck her down
            G           D         G         D         G    G
Down on the ground, I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind

[Verse]
                      G               D                 G
En Septembre soixante-trois, kids are gone and so is Louise
                 G           D             G
Ontario they did go, near la ville de Toronto
       D7                             G      D7            G
Now my tears they roll down, tous les jours, whoa, oh, oh, oh
        D7                      Em               C
And I remember the days and the promises that we made
      G       D        G       D        G   G
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
