His Latest Flame

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 
 
Chorus : 
 
C7 Bb C7 Bb 
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
