Jim Henry - Louise
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
C C/B Am Dm C F G C
[Chorus]
G
A dollar here and a dollar there
Dm G
If I had enough to spare
C C/B Am
I'd buy a brand new rocking chair
Dm C F G C
And I'd just grow old with Louise
[Verse 1]
G
I started young on my daddy's land
Dm G
I think that's what he'd always planned
C C/B Am
He said, "Tilling soil turns a boy into a man"
Dm F G
He left me to carry on
[Verse 2]
C G
My own boy and me, we never got along
Dm G
I turned my head one day and he was gone
C C/B Am
He'd said a farmer's life was not why he'd been born
Dm C F G C
I guess Louise and me was wrong
[Chorus]
G
A dollar here and a dollar there
Dm G
If I had enough to spare
C C/B Am
I'd buy a brand new rocking chair
Dm C F G C
And I'd just grow old with Louise
[Verse 3]
G
Forty years now have all passed away
Dm G
We’re getting older and farming's still the same
C C/B Am
Spring is only a week away
Dm C F G C
And I got work to do
[Chorus]
G
A dollar here and a dollar there
Dm G
If I had enough to spare
C C/B Am
I'd buy a brand new rocking chair
Dm C F G C
And I'd just grow old with Louise
