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
