G                     G
 Ma jolie, how do you do?
            D                   G
Mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux
G                        G
 I come from East of Gatineau
           D                 G
My name is Jean-Guy, ma jolie
            D            D
J'ai une maison à Lafontaine
               G                  G
Where we will live, if you marry me
             D            D
Une belle maison à Lafontaine
               Em            C
Where we will live, you and me
        G        D        G
Oh-oh Louise, ma jolie Louise
   D        G  D  G
Ma jolie Louise

[Verse 2]
N.C.                    G
 Tous les matins au soleil
         D                 G
I will work 'til work is done
G                       G
 Tous les matins au soleil
       D                   G
I did work 'til work was done
         D           D
And one day the foreman said
        G                   G
"Jean-Guy, we must let you go"
            D             D
Et puis mon nom, est pas bon
        Em       C
At the mill any more
         G        D           G
Oh-oh Louise, I'm losing my head
    D           G
I'm losing my head

[Verse 3]
N.C.                            G
 My kids are small, four and three
         D                   G
Et la bouteille, she's mon amie
G                             G
 I drink the rum 'til I can't see
             D                     G
It hides the shame Louise does not see
         D               D
The carousel turns in my head
             G                G
And I can't hide, oh no no no no
         D                  D
And the rage turned in my head
       Em                  C
And Louise, I struck her down
            G           D          G
Down on the ground, I'm losing my mind
    D          G  D  G
I'm losing my mind

I'm losing my mind

Near la ville de Toronto
       D                 D
Now my tears, they roll down
          G              G
Tous les jours, oh-oh-oh-oh
        D           D
And I remember the days
        Em                C
And the promises that we made

Oh-oh Louise, ma jolie Louise

Ma jolie Louise
