C
They say you're seeing someone, you're wearing his ring
                                        G
They say you laughed when you heard my name

They say he takes you dancing, he holds you so near
                            C
They say he'll buy you anything
C
Tell me am I foolish, I don't believe these stories
C            C7          F
And I'll be coming home soon

[Chorus]
  F                       C
Louise, Louise, if it's true
 G   G7    C
Tell it to me

[Verse 2]
   C
I know, you will not see me, but I know you have a daughter
                       G
And I hear she has my eyes

They say she calls him "father", and he's proud of her
                               C
And she believes all of your lies
         C
But for all your faithless beauty, I'd give all my tomorrows
    C                 C7        F
And if you're still thinking of me

[Chorus]
  F                      C
Louise, Louise, if it's true
 G   G7     C
Tell it to me

C      G 
G      C
C   C7 F
F      C
G   G7 C

[Chorus]
     F                      C
Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true
 G   G7     C
Tell it to me
     F                      C
Oh Louise, Louise, if it's true
 G   G7     C
Tell it to me
