[Intro] G Em x4 [Verse 1]
           G     Em           G   Em
A very old friend came by today

              G               Em
'Cause he was telling everyone in town

 G                   Em
About the love that he just found

                C   D              G       Em G Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
[Verse 2]
              G      Em              G     Em
He talked and talked and I heard him say

         G                    Em
That she had the longest blackest hair

    G                      Em
The prettiest green eyes anywhere

                 C  D              G       Em G Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
[Chorus]
D                    C                   D        C
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning

  D                     C                D   C
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye

D               C                     D          C
He was gone but still his words kept returning

      D                  C           G     Em G Em
What else was there for me to do but cry
[Verse 3]
            G    Em           G    Em
Would you believe that yesterday

              G                  Em
This girl was in my arms and swore to me

G                Em
She'd be mine eternally

                 C  D              G       Em G Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
[Chorus]
D                    C                   D        C
Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning

  D                     C                D   C
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye

D               C                     D          C
He was gone but still his words kept returning

      D                  C           G     Em G Em
What else was there for me to do but cry
[Verse 4]
            G    Em           G    Em
Would you believe that yesterday

              G                  Em
This girl was in my arms and swore to me

G                Em
She'd be mine eternally
