  D                             A
I'm thinking of you tonight old pal
    A                     D
And wishing that you were here
    G                            D
I'm dreaming of the time and the days gone by
     E7                       A 
When you filled my heart with cheer


Chorus:
D                               A
I remember the nights when all alone
A              D
We sang Sweet Adeline
G                 D     
No other face can take your place
   E7           A      D
In my heart old pal of mine

Now the old pals are always the best you see
New friends you can find every day
But they can't fill their places or ever be
Like the old pals of yesterday

I'm wondering just where you are tonight
And if you ever think of me
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart
Your face again to see

Chorus

Now the old pals are always the best you see
New friends you can find every day
But they can't fill their places or ever be
Like the old pals of yesterday
