Intro: C - Am - C - Am ...





                C 

A very old friend

Am          C     Am

Came by today

         C                         Am               

'Cause he was telling everyone in town

        C               Am

About the love he just found

C	 	F    G             C     Am....

And Marie's the name of his latest flame



 

            C		Am

He talked and talked

       C		Am

And I heard him say

       C		Am 

That she had the longest, blackest hair

       C		Am

The prettiest green eyes anywhere

C		F    G           C    Am...

And Marie's the name of his latest flame





C	      Dm 		      G		F 

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

C             Dm                  G	        F 

I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye

C             Dm		G		F 

He was gone, but still his words kept returning

C		Dm                      C   Am 

What else was there for me to do but cry





          C		Am 

Would you believe that yesterday

          C		Am

This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

          C	        Am

She'd be mine eternally

C	        F     G		C	Am 

And Marie's the name of his latest flame









C	       Dm 		G		F 

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning

C              Dm               G		F 

I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye

C              Dm		G		F 

He was gone, but still his words kept returning

C		Dm                      C   Am 

What else was there for me to do but cry

 







          C		Am 

Would you believe that yesterday

          C		Am

This girl was in my arms and sworn to me

          C	        Am

She'd be mine eternally

C	        F     G		C	Am 

And Marie's the name of his latest flame



 

And Marie's the name of his latest flame

 

And Marie's the name of his latest flame
