G5                      C5        D5
 Marie Provost did not look her best
G5                              C5      D5
The day the cops bust into her loneli-ness
G5                        E5
In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood West
C5            D5
 July Twenty Nine

G5                          C5            D5
She'd been lying there for two or three weeks
G5                              C5       D5
The neighbours said they never heard a squeak
G5                      E5
While hungry eyes that could not speak
C5                              D5
 Said even little doggies have got to eat

          G5      D5                        C5     B5 A5
She was a winner      that became a doggie's dinner
                             G5
She never meant that much to me
          C5  D5          G5  C5  G5  D5
Who oh oh oh oh poor Ma-rie

G5                   C5     D5
Marie Provost was a movie queen
G5                       C5      D5
Mysterious angel of the silent screen
G5                                  E5
And run like the wind the nation's young men steamed
C5                       D5
 When Marie crossed the silent screen

G5                 C5             D5
Woah she came out west from New York
G5                             C5                D5
But when the talkies came Mar-ie just couldn't cope
G5              Gb5  E5
The public said Mar-ie take a walk
C5                    D5
 All the way back to New York

          G5      D5                        C5     B5 A5
She was a winner      that became a doggie's dinner
                             G5
She never meant that much to me
          C5  D5          G5  C5  G5  D5
But now I see  poor Mar-ie

G5                           C5        D5
Those quaalude bombs didn't help her sleep
G5                               C5         D5
As her nights grew long and her days grew bleak
G5                      Gb5    E5
It's all downhill once you've passed your peak
C5                         D5
 Marie got ready for that last big sleep

G5                         C5        D5
The cops came in and they looked a-round
G5                           C5           D5
Throwing up everywhere over what they?d found
G5               Gb5                   E5
The handiwork of Marie's little dachs-hund
C5                   D5
 That hungry little dachshund!

          G5     D5                          C5     B5 A5
She was a winner       that became a doggie's dinner
                             G5
She never meant that much to me
          C5  D5          G5  C5  G5  D5
Who oh oh oh oh poor Ma-rie

        G5  C5  G5  D5
Poor Ma-rie
        G5  C5  G5  D5
Poor Ma-rie
             G5  C5  G5  D5
Poor poor Ma-rie
        G5  C5  G5  D5
Poor Ma-rie
        G5  C5  G5  D5
Poor Ma-rie
