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

[Verse 2]
N.C.                    C
 Tous les matins au soleil
        G                 C
I will work until work is done
C                       C
 Tous les matins au soleil
       G                  C
I did work until work was done
         G               G
And one day the foreman said
         C                   C
A Jean-Guy, we must let you go
          G           G
Puis mon nom, est pas bon
           Am       F
There's no mill any more
        C        F          C
O-oh Louise, I'm losing my head
    G          C
I'm losing my head

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

[Verse 4]
N.C.                   C
 En septembre soixante-trois
          G              C
Kids are gone and so is Louise
C                 C
 Ontario did they go
          G              C
Près d'la ville de Toronto
     G                  G
Now my tears, they roll down
         C               C
Tous les jours, oh-oh-oh-oh
        G           G
And I remember the days
        Am               F
And the promises that we made
      C       F        C
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise
   G        C
Ma jolie Louise

[Outro]
N.C.                  C
 Ma jolie, how do you do?
