PARTE 1:
D          G
Louise only got from me innocent poetry
D                           A
Although she played to not listen
D                            G
But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
D          A         D
Ever could offer the same
D                      G
Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
D                       A
Although so foolish and willing
       D                      G    
I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
D          A            D
Bow as the curtain went down

REFRÃO:
G                           D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly
G                               A
Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more
G                            D
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G                         A
Then came a knock at the door

   D                      G
“I came for my woman,” he came with a razor blade
D                          A
Bound like us all for the ocean
  D                         G
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
    D                           A
The man who would take her from me

D                   G
Some they saw in me innocent poetry
D                       A
Some, they'll never be certain
    D                          G
But still it's been written, a history of lovers
D         A        D
Given and taken in ink

G                        D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
G                              A
Cut 'em, they'll come back for more
  G                         D
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G                          A
Then came the knock at the door

D                         G
Louise came to rescue me; listen, the irony:
D                                 A
Blood made her heart change its beating
  D                          G  
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
    D             A           D
The man she found better than me
