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 
  
 
 
 
          C		Am  
Would you believe that yesterday 
          C		Am 
This girl was in my arms and sworn to me
