Capo 5th fret
C G C
Ma jolie, how do you do, mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux
C G C
I come from east of Gatineau, my name is Jean-Guy, ma jolie
G7 C G7 C
J'ai une maison a Lafontaine where we can live if you marry me
G7 Am F
Une belle maison a Lafontaine where we will live, you and me
C G C G C G C
Oh Louise, mm mm mm mm mm, ma jolie Louise
C G C
Tous les matins au soleil I will work 'til work is done
C G C
Tous les matins au soleil I did work 'til work was done
G7 C G7 C
And one day, the foreman said "Jean-Guy, we must let you go"
G7 Am F
Et pis mon nom, y est pas bon, at the mill anymore
C G C G C G C
Oh Louise, I'm losing my head I'm losing my head
C G C
My kids are small, four and three et la bouteille, she's mon ami
C G C
I drink the rum 'til I can't see, it hides the shame Louise does not see
G7 C G7 C
Carousel turns in my head and I can't hide, oh no, no, no, no
G7 Am F
And the rage turned in my head and Louise, I struck her down
C G C G C G C
Down on the ground, I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind
C G C
En Septembre soixante-trois, kids are gone and so is Louise
C G C
Ontario they did go, near la ville de Toronto
G7 C G7 C
Now my tears they roll down, tous les jours, whoa, oh, oh, oh
G7 Am F
And I remember the days and the promises that we made
C G C G C G C
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
