Intro: G Em G Em

A very old friend came by today
Em G Em
Cos' he was telling everyone in town
G Em
Of the love that he'd just found
C D
And Marie's the name of his latest flame.

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame.

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burnin'
D C D C
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
D C D C
And he was gone but still his words kept returning
D C G Em G Em
What else was left for me to do but cry.


Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and sworing me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame.

Though I smiled...

Would you belive...
