Song :
A
F
Ma jolie, how do you do,
C F
mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux
F
I come from east of Gatineau,
C F
my name is Jean-Guy, ma jolie
C7
J'ai une maison à Lafontaine
F C7 F
where we can live if you marry me
C7
Une belle maison à Lafontaine
Dm Bb
where we will live, you and me
F C F
Oh Louise, mm mm mm mm mm,
C F C F
ma jolie Louise
F
Tous les matins au soleil
C F
I will work 'til work is done
F
Tous les matins au soleil
C F
I did work 'til work was done
C7
And one day, the foreman said
F C7 F
"Jean-Guy, we must let you go"
C7
Et pis mon nom, y est pas bon,
Dm Bb
at the mill anymore
F C F
Oh Louise, I'm losing my head
C F C F
I'm losing my head
F
My kids are small, four and three
C F
et la bouteille, she's mon ami
F
I drink the rum 'til I can't see,
C F
it hides the shame Louise does not see
C7
Carousel turns in my head
F C7 F
and I can't hide, oh no, no, no, no
C7
And the rage turned in my head
Dm Bb
and Louise, I struck her down
F C F
Down on the ground, I'm losing my mind,
C F C F
I'm losing my mind
F
En Septembre soixante-trois,
C F
kids are gone and so is Louise
F
Ontario they did go,
C F
near la ville de Toronto
C7
Now my tears they roll down,
F C7 F
tous les jours, whoa, oh, oh, oh
C7
And I remember the days
Dm Bb
and the promises that we made
F C F
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise,
C F C F
ma jolie Louise
