The Kingsmen came together in a garage, they could hardly even play
         G                                                     D                                                                                 C 
But they practiced night and day pretty soon they got to where they could really play that song Louie, Louie
         G                                                                       D                                                         C 
So, they saved up all the money from the shows, went in to one of them studios and gave their version of the song a try
 G         D                                                         C

You see, the kids had been going kind of crazy lately and it seemed like nobody could figure out why,
                         G                                               D                                                                                 C 
So they decided to form a coalition, launch an investigation, you know for the children, they at least had to try
