His Latest Flame chords

A very ol[G]d fr[Em]iend came by [G]toda[Em]y
'Cos he was t[G]elling every[Em]one in town
A[G]bout the love that [Em]he just found
And Marie's the n[C]ame [D7] of his latest f[G]lame[Em]

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

T[D7]hough I smiled the t[C]ears inside were a-b[D7]urning[C]
I w[D7]ished him luck and t[C]hen he said good[D7] , [C]bye
[D7]He was gone but st[C]ill his words kept ret[D7]urning[C]
What e[D7]lse was there for [C]me to do but c[G] , [Emi]ry

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

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

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
And Marie's the name of his latest flame . . . fade out
