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
