[Verse 1]
               G            D
The shadows of twilight are falling
     G                     D
On a heart so lonesome and blue
G                          D
I can hear a voice sweetly calling
       E7                      A7   A7
And it brings back mem'ries of you
[Chorus 1]
    D         G              D
Ol' pal of my heart, are you lonesome?
    G                         D
Ol' pal of my dreams, are you blue?
G                            D
It's been many days since we parted
   E7                      A7
My thoughts are forever of you
[Chorus 2]
D          G         D
Life is so empty without you
  G                       F#
I long for you forever it seems
      G                          A                 B7
For I know you'll always be, the same sweet pal to me
     E           A            D
When I come back to you in my dreams
[Break]

[Verse 2]
             G            D
And oh how I long for you darling
   G                    D
To hold you again tenderly
    G                      D
And hear you say, you will always be
         E7                    A7
Just the same old sweet pal to me
[Chorus 1]
    D         G              D
Ol' pal of my heart, are you lonesome?
    G                         D
Old pal of my dreams, are you blue?
G                            D
It's been many days since we parted
   E7                      A7
My thoughts are forever of you
[Chorus 2]
D          G         D
Life is so empty without you
  G                       F#
I long for you forever it seems
      G                          A                 B7
For I know you'll always be, the same sweet pal to me
     E           A            D
When I come back to you in my dreams
