Version: 2 Type: Chords

Sweet Louise Chords

   
Love this song!  Heard it in the movie “The First Time” with Dylan O’Brien and 
Britt Robertson.

The strumming pattern is pretty easy: just play along with the song and you’ll get it. 
 Have fun!!  Comment or email (ianfreetobeyouandme@yahoo.com) if something sounds 
wrong, but I’m pretty sure this is what the chords are (the intro is a little wonky, though.)

(stop) = end the chord by strumming once, quickly
(A A B) = is an optional addition.  If you listen, it's a little riff in the song, not 
played by the guitar, but nice to add in if you aren't playing with a full band.

E         A     E
It was like a movie
B        A         E  (A A B: each for one beat) E
Watching her eyes read

But oh my words were not in vain
                    C#m          [ch]F#maj[/ch]
‘Cause I can always say till the day I die
