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

[Verse 2]
              G      Em              G     Em
He talked and talked and I heard him say
         G                    Em
That she had the longest blackest hair
    G                      Em
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
                 C  D              G       Em G Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

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

[Verse 3]
            G    Em           G    Em
Would you believe that yesterday
              G                  Em
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
G                Em
She'd be mine eternally
                 C  D              G       Em G Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

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

[Verse 4]
            G    Em           G    Em
Would you believe that yesterday
              G                  Em
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
G                Em
She'd be mine eternally
                 C  D              G       Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

[Outro]
             C  D              G       Em
Marie's the name of his latest flame
                 C  D              G       Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
                 C  D              G
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
