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]

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

What else was there for me to do but cry
[Verse 3]
G Em G Em
Would you believe that yesterday

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]

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning

What else was there for me to do but cry
[Verse 4]
