E C#m E C#m A very old friend came by today E C#m ʼCos he was telling everyone in town E C#m About the love that he just found A B7 C#m And Marieʼs the name of his latest flame Chorus: B7 A B7 A Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning B7 A B7 A I wished him luck and then he said goodbye B7 A B7 A He was gone but still his words kept returning B7 A E What else was there for me to do but cry He talked and talked and I heard him say That she had the longest blackest hair The prettiest green eyes anywhere And Marieʼs the name of his latest flame Would you believe that yesterday This girl was in my arms and swore to me Sheʼd be mine eternally And Marieʼs the name of his latest flame
