Louise

Em      C                     G 
Me and Louise never had much 
     D
luck
Em                C              
Just a couple of kids with a lot 
   G    B7
of love
Em            C          G      
Laid our fortunes on her daddy's
          D
 old farm
Em              C                
Didn't see how dirt could do such
   D
 harm
Em           C                G 
Seasons came and the seasons 
    D
left
Em                      C        
The only thing that changed was 
   G               B7
the shape of her dress
Em                        C      
She said: you're a good man, 
            G          D
you'll have my child
Em                 C             
You can't raise a living a thing 
        G             D
on this cursëd old ground


[Pre-Chorus]

C                        G
We laid a sheet on the piano keys
B                    Em     D
Crying good lord, please, please
C                            G
Packed our things into the old farm 
car
F                      C         
Wondering if it could take us 
   D
very far

And I said


[Chorus]

G             Am       C        
Everything about it takes a 
      D
little luck
G             Am        C       
Gears rumble - and the left 
        D
door's stuck
G               Am            C
It doesn't come with any guarantees
             Am         D        G
But there's gas in the tank, Louise

[Verse 2]

Em                C       G     
Out here on the borderline the 
           D
sun sets low
Em                C              
Like a couple of jackrabbits 
      G             B7
dancing in the morning snow
Em            C                 
Knew we'd make it, if we could 
G           D
just get out
Em                 C             
The only thing we sought was love
    D
 and south
Em     C                   G     D
Miles came and the miles went
Em          C                   
Our hearts full - our money 
G          B7
spent
Em                     C       G
Somewhere outside El Paso my 
                  D
Louise cried out
Em        C                     
She took my arm - said, "It's 
G             D
time now"


[Pre-Chorus 2]

C                        G
I prayed and waited all night
B          Em     D
Oh Louise, please, please
C                            G
I heard a new voice with the new day
F                           C    
I thought back to what her Daddy 
        D
used to say

And he said


[Chorus]

G             Am       C        
Everything about it takes a 
      D
little luck
G             Am        C       
Gears rumble - and the left 
        D
door's stuck
G               Am            C
It doesn't come with any guarantees
             Am         D        G
But there's gas in the tank, Louise


[Interlude]

Em        C        G       D    x4


[Verse 3]

Em               C               
 Then me and Louise didn't go too
G            D
 far
Em              C               
 We named our boy for Louise's 
G             D
pa
Em                C              
 Found a plot of ground we could 
          G           D
call our own
Em            C                D
 We built a house - we built a home

And we said


[Chorus]

G             Am       C        
Everything about it takes a 
      D
little luck
G             Am        C       
Gears rumble - and the left 
        D
door's stuck
G               Am            C
It doesn't come with any guarantees
             Am         D
But there's gas in the tank,
        Am          D
There's gas in the tank,
             Am             D      G
Yeah there's gas in the tank, Louise
