Louisianne
Written by John Stewart
'Louisianne' is on Kate Heriza and Buffy Fordīs album
"Heriza & Ford Hearts Together",
Steve Cottrell asked us to do it as a Weekend Song; he wrote out the lyrics.
Dedicated with gratitude and respect to John Stewart,
the finest songwriter of our age,
(D) (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D/F#) (Em) (A)
(D) (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D) (G) (A)
(D)Day after (A)day, (Bm)what
more can I (F#m)say?
The (G)river Louisi(D)anne seems to (G)know a
better (A)way.
(D)Rollin a(A)long when (Bm)we are
dead and (F#m)gone,
The (G)river keeps a-(D)rolling
like a (G)never-ending (A)song.
(D)Roll, Louisi(A)anne, like a (Bm)river
on the (F#m)land,
A (G)river's just a (D)river,
never (G)tried to under(A)stand.
(D)Roll, Louisi(A)anne, like a (Bm)river
on the (F#m)land,
If (G)loving you is (D)all I
do, itīs (G)everywhere I (A)am,
Louisi(D)anne. (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D) (G) (A)
The (D)rain and the (A)wind, (Bm)standing
by a (F#m)friend,
The (G)world may be a (D)curse,
or you will (G)make the world your (A)friend.
(D)Day after (A)day, (Bm)what
more can I (F#m)say?
The (G)river Louisi(D)anne just seems to
(G)know a better (A)way.
(D)Roll Louisi(A)anne, like a (Bm)river
on the (F#m)land,
A (G)river's just a (D)river,
never (G)tried to under(A)stand.
(D)Roll, Louisi(A)anne, like a (Bm)river
on the (F#m)land,
If (G)loving you is (D)all I
do, you're (G)everywhere I (A)am,
Louisi(D)anne. (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D) (G) (A)
(D) (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D) (G) (A)
(D)Roll, Louisi(A)anne, like a (Bm)river
on the (F#m)land,
A (G)river's just a (D)river,
never (G)tried to under(A)stand.
(D)Roll, Louisi(A)anne, like a (Bm)river
on the (F#m)land.
If (G)loving you is (D)all I
do, itīs (G)everywhere I (A)am,
Louisi(D)anne. (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D) (G) (A)
(D) (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D) (G) (A)
(D) (A) (Bm) (F#m) (G) (D) (G) (A) and fade
