Cherokee Louise is hiding in this [G] tunnel in the Broadway [D]
Bridge _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] We're crawling on our knees, we got flashlights and batteries
We got cold [D] cuts on the feet
_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Last year about this time we used to climb up in the [F#m] branches
Just [G] to sway there in some breeze
[Dm] Now the cops on the [Em] street, they _ [A] want _ Cherokee _ [Dm] Louise
_ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] People like the top [A] tongues are [Bm] wagging over fences, _ _ wagging over phones _ [G] Cherokee _ Louise
_ [Bm] Oh, that does a lot
God, she can't even come to [G] our house by [D] line of principle _ [G] Cherokee _ _ [D] Louise
Oh, [Em] the place where you can stand and press your hands like it was [A] bubble bathing
[G] Stars fly high, that's me, down under [Em] the street
My friend, [A] poor _ Cherokee _ [D] _ Louise
[G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] Ever since [D] we turned thirteen, [A] it's like a _ [Bm] minefield, walking through the door
_ Go _
_ _ [A] _ _ in and check in [D] the third degree, _ then come [A] on in, you'll [G] get the third world horror
[D] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ Tuesday after school we put our pennies on the rails
[D] And when the train went by, Cherokee _ [G] Louise
We were [Bm] jumping around like fools, going, look, no tears of tails
Go and look, my lucky [G] prize, Cherokee _ [D] _
Louise
[Em] She runs home to her foster dad, he opens up the zipper
And he [G] answers to her knees, oh, [Em] please be here, please
My friend, [A] poor _ _ Cherokee [Dm] Louise

Cherokee Louise is _ hiding in this tunnel in the Broadway Bridge
_ Cherokee [G] _ Louise
_ We're [Bm] crawling on our knees, I've got Archie in silver screen
_ [G] [D] I know where she is
Cherokee [G] _ Louise
[A] The [Em] place where you [D] can stand and press your [Gm] hands like it was [D] bubble bathing
[G] Stars fly high, that's me, _ down [D] under [Em] the street
My friend, [A] poor _ _ Cherokee _ [Dm] [G] Louise _
_ [D] Oh, _ _ _ _ Cherokee [Bm] Louise _
