Intro: 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 
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
