[E] [C] [C]
They say you're seeing someone, you're wearing [G] his ring.
[D] They say you [G] laughed when you heard my name.
They say he takes you dancing, and holds you so near.
They say he'll buy you [C] anything.
[C]
Tell me am I [G]
foolish, I don't believe these stories.
And I'll be coming [F] home soon.
Louise, [F] Louise, [G] if it's true, tell it to [C] me.
I know you will [G] not see me, but I know you have a [G] daughter.
And I [Em]
hear she has my eyes.
They say she calls him father, and he's proud of her.
And he believes all your lies.
But [D] for all your faithless [C] beauty, I'd give all my tomorrows.
And if you're still [F] thinking of me, Louise, [G] Louise, if it's true,
[C] tell [G]
it to me.
