Biography:
Chapel Hill’s indie Americana quartet Mipso (formerly Mipso Trio) are influenced by the contradiction of their progressive home and the surrounding rural southern landscapes. Mipso currently ventures further than ever from their string-band pedigree to discover a broader Americana where classic folk-rock and modern alt-country sounds mingle easily with Appalachian tradition. Adding drums and electric instruments to their intimate four-part harmonies and powerful acoustic meld

[Intro]
Em C G D x4
[Verse]
Em C G D
Me and Louise never had much luck
Em C G B
Just a couple of kids with a lot of love
Em C G D
Laid our fortunes on her daddy's old farm
Em C D
Didn't see how dirt could do such harm
Em C G D
Seasons came and the seasons left
Em C G B
The only thing that changed was the shape of her dress
Em C G D
She said: you're a good man, you'll have my child
Em C G D
You can't raise a living a thing on this cursëd old ground
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
We laid a sheet on the piano keys
B Em D
Crying good lord, please, please
C G
Packed our things into the old farm car
F C D
Wondering if it could take us very far
And I said
[Chorus]
G Am C D
Everything about it takes a little luck
G Am C D
Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck
G Am C
It doesn't come with any guarantees
Am D G
But there's gas in the tank, Louise
[Verse 2]
Em C G D
Out here on the borderline the sun sets low
Em C G B
Like a couple of jackrabbits dancing in the morning snow
Em C G D
Knew we'd make it, if we could just get out
Em C D
The only thing we saw was love in sow
Em C G D
Miles came and the miles went
Em C G B
Our hearts full - our money spent
Em C G D
Somewhere outside El Paso my Louise cried out
Em C G D
She took my arm - said, "It's time now"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C G
I prayed and waited all night
B Em D
Oh Louise, please, please
C G
I heard a new voice with the new day
F C D
I thought back to what her Daddy used to say
And he said
[Chorus]
G Am C D
Everything about it takes a little luck
G Am C D
Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck
G Am C
It doesn't come with any guarantees
Am D G
But there's gas in the tank, Louise
[Interlude]
Em C G D x4
[Verse 3]
Em C G D
Then me and Louise didn't go too far
Em C G D
We named our boy for Louise's pa
Em C G D
Found a plot of ground we could call our own
Em C D
We built a house - we built a home
And we said
[Chorus]
G Am C D
Everything about it takes a little luck
G Am C D
Gears rumble - and the left door's stuck
G Am C
It doesn't come with any guarantees
Am D
But there's gas in the tank,
Am D
There's gas in the tank,
Am D G
Yeah there's gas in the tank, Louise
