 Marie Provost did not look her best
G                            
The day the cops bust into her 
  C      D
loneli-ness
G                        Em
In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood 
West
C            D
 July Twenty Nine

G                          C     
She'd been lying there for two or
       D
 three weeks
G                              C 
The neighbours said they never 
      D
heard a squeak
G                      Em
While hungry eyes that could not 
speak
C                              D
 Said even little doggies have got 
to eat

          G      D/F#             
She was a winner      that became 
           C     B Am
a doggie's dinner
                             G
She never meant that much to me

Marie Provost was a movie queen
G                       C   
Mysterious angel of the silent 
   D
screen
G                                  
And run like the wind the nation's 
Em
young men steamed

C                       D
 When Marie crossed the silent 
screen

G                 C             D
Woah she came out west from New York
G                             C  
But when the talkies came Mar-ie 
              D
just couldn't cope
G              Gb  Em
The public said Mar-ie take a walk
C                    D
 All the way back to New York

          G      D/F#             
She was a winner      that became 
           C     B Am
a doggie's dinner
                             G
She never meant that much to me
          C  D          G  C  G  D
But now I see  poor Mar-ie

G                           C    
Those quaalude bombs didn't help

her sleep
G                               C
As her nights grew long and her

The handiwork of Marie's little

 That hungry little dachshund!
