Louise is a girl [C] I know [G] her well she's [D] up on the pavement
Yeah she's [C] a weather [G] girl and I'm staying [D] up here
So I [C] may be [G] undone [D] choosing the procreate [C] but there's much [G] more fun [F] I'm
When [G] she smiles my [F] way my [G] eyes go out in vain
She's got [F] [G] perfect skin
Shame [C] [D]

[C] I [G] wish she'd have known [F] that
When she [G] smiles [F] my way my eyes [G] go out in vain
She's [F] got perfect [G]
