F  Dm           F  Dm
		A very old friend came by today
		 	     F          Dm
		'Cos he was telling everyone in town
		F    		     Dm
		About the love that he just found
		        	  Bb C7			  Dm
		And Marie's the name  of his latest flame

		C7		     Bb			   C7	Bb
Chorus:		Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
		    C7		      Bb		  C7	Bb
		I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
		C7		 Bb		        C7	Bb
		He was gone but still his words kept returning
		      C7		Bb		F
		What else was there for me to do but cry

Other verses:	He talked and talked and I heard him say
		That she had the longest blackest hair
		The prettiest green eyes anywhere
		And Marie's the name of his latest flame
		Would you believe that yesterday
		This girl was in my arms and swore to me
		She'd be mine eternally
		And Marie's the name of his latest flame
