His Latest Flame

: C - Am - C - Am ...

                C
A very old friend
Am          C     Am
Came by today
         C                         Am
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
        C               Am
About the love he just found
C               F    G             C     Am....
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

            C           Am
He talked and talked
       C                Am
And I heard him say
       C                Am
That she had the longest, blackest hair
       C                Am
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
C               F    G           C    Am...
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

C             Dm                      G         F
Though I smiled the tears inside were a burning
C             Dm                  G             F
I wish him luck, and then he said goodbye
C             Dm                G               F
He was gone, but still his words kept returning
C               Dm                      C   Am
What else was there for me to do but cry

          C             Am
Would you believe that yesterday
          C             Am
This girl was in my arms and sworn to me
          C             Am
She'd be mine eternally
C               F     G         C       Am
