A very old friend came by today
FDm
'Cos he was telling everyone in town
FDm
About the love that he just found
BbC7Dm
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
Chorus:
C7BbC7Bb
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
C7BbC7Bb
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
C7BbC7Bb
He was gone but still his words kept returning
C7BbF
What else was there for me to do but cry
Other verses:
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
Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
