                           Em  G
I've only known her for a while
         A            D
She came as some surprise
D                            Em
I see the sunshine when she smiles
G           A                  D
I feel the rainfall when she cries

Chorus:
F#m                 Em  Bm
She hits me in the heart
      A              D
She drops me to my knees
Em                                G      A
And I don't know where I'd be without you
         D
Sweet Louise

Where she flies just like a bird
And she floats just like a dream
She is the sweetest song I've heard
And the sweetest face I've seen

Chorus:
And she hits me in the heart
She drops me to my knees
I don't know where I'd be without you
My sweet Louise

          F#m
They say patience is a virtue
            Em
And she'll wait, she won't desert you
           Bm                  A
She's got hands that couldn't hurt you
          D
If they tried

               Em
With all that happiness she has me
         G               A
But she loves and understands me
          Bm
Right or wrong, I know
      A             D
She's always by my side

            Em              G
So if you please, put me at ease
A        D
Sweet Louise

Chorus:
And she hits me in the heart
And she drops me to my knees
I don't know everything about you
Never you give me no reason to doubt you
And I don't wanna be without you
My sweet Louise
