A very old friend came by today 
Em G Em 
Cos‘ he was telling everyone in town 
G Em 
Of the love that he‘d just found 
C D 
And Marie‘s the name of his latest flame. 
 
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.

Though I smiled the tears inside were a burnin‘ 
D C D C 
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye 
D C D C 
And he was gone but still his words kept returning 
D C G Em G Em 
What else was left for me to do but cry. 
 
 
Would you believe that yesterday 
This girl was in my arms and sworing me 
She‘d be mine eternally 
And Marie‘s the name of his latest flame. 
 
Though I smiled... 
 
Would you belive...
