Stan Rogers – Louises Song (Guitar)

E
I would have been here sooner

F#
Your note came yesterday

A
But, yesterday was crazy;

F#m                     B
There was much to square away

E
Then I tried to come this morning

                        G#m
But the old car wouldn't run

A
And the buses run so slowly

F#m                     B
There was nothing to be done

E
But you, you don't need my troubles

               F#
I'm here now, anyway

            A
And there's nothing left behind me

F#m7             B
To say I cannot stay

E
When I told you that I love you

                 G#m7
I said' "Call me anytime

A
And especially when you need someone

F#m7                   B7
When things get out of line

E
And oh, there's a burning in your eyes

                                        A
And the hand you put in mine won't stop trembling

F#m
Oh, tell me what you're going through

      B                      E
Cause all I want to do is be protecting

     E7                                   A
They look so out of place, they should be sunlight

          E
I want to take you when the smile returns

    F#                F#7
And keep you from the night

A              B              E
And wake up to see me in your eyes

E
I don't know how we happened

           F#
When we're kept so far apart

      A
There sure are lots worse prisons

F#m                     B
Than the kind with iron bars;

E
And it almost makes me crazy

                G#m
To see you hurt inside

A
When you're beautiful and really need

F#m                B
To let things open wide

E
And oh, there's a burning in your eyes

                                        A
And the hand you put in mine won't stop trembling

F#m
Oh, tell me what you're going through

      B                      E
Cause all I want to do is be protecting

E7                                         A
They look so out of place, they should be sunlight

          E
I want to take you when the smile returns

    F#                F#7
And keep you from the night

A              B              E
And wake up to see me in your eyes
