BPB's cover of Merle Haggard's cover of Jimmie Rodgers. The A's could be A7's if you prefer. [Intro] D A D [Verse 1]
D                               A
I'm thinking of you tonight old pal

                          D
And wishing that you were here

    G                             D
I'm dreaming of the times and the days gone by

     E7                       A
When you filled my heart with cheer
[Verse 2]
D                               A
I remember the nights when all alone

                 D
We sang Sweet Adeline

G                 D
No other face can take your place

   E7           A      D
In my heart old pal of mine
[Verse 3]
D                           A
The old pals are always the best you see

                               D
New friends you can find every day

         G                          D
But they can't fill their places or ever be

         E7          A     D
Like the old pals of yesterday
[Verse 4]
D                             A
I'm wondering where you are tonight

                         D
And if you ever think of me

         G                      D
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart

E7                 A
your face again to see
[Verse 5]
D                                   A
Cuz I remember the nights when all alone

                 D
We sang Sweet Adeline

G                          D
There's no other place I'd lay down my face

        E7            A      D
Than by your side old pal of mine
[Verse 6]
D                          A
Now in my checkered life I find

                       D
Nothing comes right it seems

      G                  D
Still you'll always be a pal of mine

          E7     A       D
Though it may be only in dreams

      D      A  D
Oh-di-lay-ee-ee-ee
