Calilou

G  C  D

[Verse 1]
         G                      D
Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana
D                       G
Runnin' and thumbin' all the way
G                          C
That started out wayout in California
C                                D
I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day
G                               D
I covered all the beaches on the west coast
D                  G
From Mexico Crason City Bay
G                      C
But Calilou was not in California
C                                  D
That's where her daddy came from by the way
C                               G
And by the way her mother was a cajun
C                               G
She came from New Orleans I've heard her say
C                               G
And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama
D                               G
So I might find her there along the way

[Chorus]
C          G                                    G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
                                D
Well they should have called you drifter
C                                       D            G
Yeah, they should have called you trouble instead of Calilou

[Verse 2]
         G                      D
I recall the first time that I saw her
D                       G
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car
G                          C
Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune
C                                D
And I told her she should be a movie star
G                               D
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari
D                  G
She served my bowl of chili with a smile
G                      C
I said it's been a year since I last saw you
C                                  D
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
C                               G
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy
C                               G
I held her in my arms the whole night long
C                               G
I whispered words like settle down and family
D                               G
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone

[Chorus]
C          G                                    G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
G                               D
And they should have call you drifter
C                                       D            G
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou

C          G                                    G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
G                               D
And they should have call you drifter
C                                       D            G
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
