From: Branwen23

Hey, all,


I'm looking for chords for a song called "Louise", by Paul Siebel.

It's the one that starts:

They say that Louise was not half bad,
It was written on the walls and windowshades.
And though she'd act a little girl,
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade.



Anybody know the chords?

They (C)all said Loui(A7)se was not half (D7)bad,

It was writ(F)ten on the wal(G)ls and window(C)shades. C-D7-G7-C

And tho(C)ugh she'd (A7)act a little gi(D7)rl,

A dece(F)iver, don't believe (G)her, that's her (C)trade.

Some(F)times a bot(G)tle of per(C)fume.

Flo(F)wers and ma(G)ybe some la(C)ce.

(F)Men brought Lou(G)ise ten cent trin(AM)kets.

Their inten(D7)sions so easily pla(G&)ced. G - G7- C

And tho' they kn(A7)ew at times she cr(D7)ied, Well

wom(F)en like Lou(G)ise, They get B(C)y.

My friends use this chord sequence, which sounds right for the tune they sing:

  C  -  D7 -  
  F  G7 C  -  
  C  -  D7 -  
  F  G7 C  -  
  F  G7 C  -  
  F  G7 C  -  
  F  G7 Am -  
  D7 -  G7 -  
  C  -  D7 -  
  F  G7 C  -

The Leo Kottke version was played in open C tuning - CGCGCE - the chords above are about right - the only really tricky chord in the open C is the Am, which is easiest rendered X24200

Paul Siebel wrote the song in E, which I think sounds better. Try and find his recording of it on the old Elektra album WOODSMOKE & ORANGES, on of the best recordings of the '60's. He had David Bromberg, Jeff Gutcheon, Richard Green, and many more great musicians backing him up. The chords Paul used;

E F# A B7 E E F# A B7 E A B7 E A B7 E A B7 C# F# B7 E F# A B7 E
