[Verse 1]
[Bm]
Louise Louise is hiding in this tunnel
[A]In [G]the Broadway Bridge
[A]We are crawl[Bm]ing on our knees,
we got flashlights and batteries
[A]We've [G]got cold cuts from the fridge
Last [Em]year, about this time,
we used to climb up in the branches
Just to [G]sway there in some breeze
Now the cops [Bm]on the st[Em]reet, they want
[A]Cher[Asus4]okee Loui[D]se
[Bm]People like to talk,
tongues are wagging over fences,
[A]waggin[G]g over phones
[A]All the[Bm]ir doors are locked,
God, she can't even come to my house
[A]But [G]I know where she'll go
To the [Em]place where you can stand
and press your hands like
it was bubble bathing
[G]Dust piled high as me
down un[Bm]der the s[Em]treet
My [A]friend, [Asus4]Cherokee [D]Louise
[G]Ever since we turned thirteen
It's like a mine[A]field walking
[Bm]through the door
[A]Go [G]ing out you get the third degree
Comin' in, you [A]get the [D]third world war
[Bm]Tuesday after school,
we put our pennies on the rails
[A]An [G]d when the train went by
[A]We were jump[Bm]in' round like fools
Go and look, no heads or tails
Go [A]and [G]look, my lucky prize
[Bm]She [Em]runs home to her foster dad
He opens up his zipper
and [G]he hangs her to her knees
Oh, please be there, [Em]please, my friend
[A]Chero[Asus4]kee Louis[D]e[G]
[A][Bm][A][G]

[Bm]Cherokee Louise
is hiding in this tunnel
[A]In the Broad[G]way Bridge
[A]We are crawl[Bm]ing on our knees
We got flashlights and [A]batteries[G]
I know where she is
The place [Em]where you can stand
And press your hands
like it was bubble bathing
[G]Dust piled high as me,
down under [Bm]the s[Em]treet
My friend, poor [A]Cherokee
[Asus4]Louise[D]
Cherokee [Bm]Louise
