Don't Cry For Louie
View chords used in this chart
Dm
I gave up all my friends
My girls from out of town
Bought her what she wanted
Yet she let me down Gm
When she saw me crying
She said, I had no heart A
When my heart was bleeding
She turned around and laughed Dm
Girls don't cry for Louie
Louie wouldn't cry for you Gm
When you walk the streets for Louie
You better do what Louie tells you to Dm
I met Louie on a hazy mornin'
When the bars where closin' down Gm
He said, "Honey, I really like your prancing A
You and I we'll burn this town" Dm
This woman, sir, mislead me
Hurt me in my pride
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to take her side? Gm
She cheated on me, mister
Told me nothing but lies A
I just had to teach her
Not to overstep the line Dm
Girls don't cry over Louie
He wouldn't waste a tear on you Gm
When you walk the streets for Louie A
You ain't walking down no avenue Dm
I met Louie on an early mornin'
In a sleazy part of town Gm
I was tipsy and feeling kind of lonely A
Louie offered me his arm Dm
A Dm
He said, "You and I, we'll burn this town"
He said, "You and I, we'll burn this town"
