[Verse 1]
              C           G
Well, they've torn up the streets 
and
Am             G
Burned off the fields,
    Bb             Am        
And turned all the dogs to the 
  F      G
woods;
     Am          G
They took up the cross
         Am              F
But they lost the third reel
        C            G           
And the picture was just getting 
F
good;
Am          C
Evening is crawling,
F         Fm
Summer is Lost
           C           Em          
- They're dragging the pond for it 
Am   F
now,
        C           G           Am
They've painted the windows all shut
        F
And the frost has
C            G           C
Warmed everything up somehow

[Chorus 1]
            F          Em         
And you can ask me for nothing at 
G
all
    F           C           G
And I'll always be what you please,
        Am           C          D
You can never leave nothing behind 
you
    F        G          C
And I always will love Louise

[Verse 2]
       C                G
You've seen this before
       Am             G
And to hear you tell,
     Bb            Am         
It's not worth the tears or the 
   F       G
rain;
        C             G
There's nothing worth keeping
    Am            F
But nothing you'd sell,
                      C         G 
Though you'd trade it all for a 
          F
seat on the train;
          Am            G
When your breath can be seen
   F             Fm
It hangs at your knees
    C        Em           Am   F
But raises itself like a crow,
        C             G
You can jump for your life
          Am           F
From your place in the trees
          C           G            
But you'd do well to just watch it 
C
go

[Chorus 2]
            F          Em         
And you can ask me for nothing at 
G
all
    F           C           G
And I'll always be what you please,
        Am           C          D
You can never leave nothing behind 
you
    F        G          C
And I always will love Louise

[Verse 3]
        C             G
You can send me alone
       Am         G
To the shed after dark,
        Bb      Am        F       G
Lay me down in my Easter Clothes,
   C          G
Or send them along
       Am              F
To my folks with your prayers
    C            G           F
But save me at least one of those;
        Am            G
You can make me your only one
   F          Fm
Or leave me today
    C            G         Am      F
And send no more mail than you do,
      C        G
I may never be able
   Am             F
To reach you this way
      C           G             C
But I always will reach out to you

[Chorus 3]
            F          Em         
And you can ask me for nothing at 
G
all
    F           C           G
And I'll always be what you please,
        Am           C          D
You can never leave nothing behind 
you
    F        G          Bb    Am
And I always will love Louise
  F      G         C
I always will love Louise
