Sweet Louise Chords & Tabs
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.
