[G][Em][G][Em]

A very old [G] friend [Em] came by to-[G]-day [Em]

And he was [G] telling every-[Em]-one in town

[G] About the love that [Em] he just found

And Marie's the [C] name [D7] of his latest [G] flame [Em]

He talked and [G] talked [Em] and I heard him [G] say [Em]

That she [G] had the longest [Em] blackest hair

The [G] prettiest green eyes [Em] anywhere

And Marie's the [C] name [D7] of his latest [G] flame [Em]

[D7] Though I smiled the [C] tears inside were a-[D7] burning [C]

[D7] I wished him luck and [C] then he said good-[D7]-bye [C]

[D7] He was gone but [C] still his words kept re-[D7]-turning [C]

[D7] What else was there [C] for me to do but [G] cry [Em]

Would you be-[G]-lieve [Em] that yester-[G]-day [Em]

This girl was [G] in my arms and [Em] swore to me

[G] She'd be mine e-[Em]-ternally

And Marie's the [C] name [D7] of his latest [G] flame [Em]
