His Latest Flame

Elvis Presley

Intro: G Em

Part 1:
(G Em)
A very old friend came by today
(G Em)
'Cos he was telling everyone in town
(G Em)
About the love that he just found
Em            C   D               G Em
And Marie's the name  of his latest flame


Part 2:
(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
Em            C   D              G Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame


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


Part 3:
(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
Em            C   D              G Em
And Marie's the name of his latest flame
