    A very old friend came by today
    Em            G            Em
    'Cause he was telling everyone in town
    G                   Em
    About the love that he just found
                    C   D7             G     Em    G     Em
    And Marie's the name of his latest flame

    D7                  C                   D7        C
    Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
      D7                  C                D7        C
    I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
    D7              C                      D7        C
    He was gone but still his words kept returning
         D7                 C            G      Em    G    Em
    What else was there for me to do but cry

    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
