Crazy lyric. Great pop song.
G C D
Marie Provost did not look her best
G C D
The day the cops bust into her lonely nest
G Em
In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood West
C D
July Twenty Nine
G C D
She'd been lying there for two or three weeks
G C D
The neighbours said they never heard a squeak
G Em
While hungry eyes that could not speak
C D
Said even little doggies have got to eat
G D/F# C C/B Am
She was a winner that became a doggie's dinner
G
She never meant that much to me
C D G C G D
Who oh oh oh oh poor Ma-rie
G C D
Marie Provost was a movie queen
G C D
Mysterious angel of the silent screen
G Em
And run like the wind the nation's young men steamed
C D
When Marie crossed the silent screen
G C D
Woah she came out west from New York
G C D
But when the talkies came Mar-ie just couldn't cope
G G/F# Em
The public said Mar-ie take a walk
C D
All the way back to New York
G D/F# C C/B Am
She was a winner that became a doggie's dinner
G
She never meant that much to me
C D G C G D
But now I see poor Mar-ie

G C D
Those quaalude bombs didn't help her sleep
G C D
As her nights grew long and her days grew bleak
G G/F# Em
It's all downhill once you've passed your peak
C D
Marie got ready for that last big sleep
G C D
The cops came in and they looked a-round
G C D
Throwing up everywhere over what they’d found
G G/F# Em
The handiwork of Marie's little dachs-hund
C D
That hungry little dachshund!
G D/F# C C/B Am
She was a winner that became a doggie's dinner
G
She never meant that much to me
C D G C G D
Who oh oh oh oh poor Ma-rie
G C G D
Poor Ma-rie
G C G D
Poor Ma-rie

Poor poor Ma-rie
G C G D
Poor Ma-rie
G C G D
Poor Ma-rie

pretty sure your Gb is just a passing F# bass note (key of G = 1#- F#). same with C down to Am. not a whole B chord. also, it's 'bust into her lonely nest' in 'her cheap hotel in hollywood west'. but other than these trifles, solid work on your part.

also- American release 'Pure Pop for Now People'. 'Jesus of Cool' not cool to u.s. record co.
