OLD PAL OF YESTERDAY
(Public Domain)
Capo 5
C G
In the twilight when the shadows are falling
C G
at the close of a long, weary day
C C7 F Dm
Then I fancy I hear a voice calling
C G C G
It's my old pal of yesterday
[CHORUS]
C G C
Old pal, I'm so blue since you left me
G C G
Life's been a burden to bear
C G C Am
I wonder, old pal, if you miss me
D7 G7
I wonder if you still care
C C7 F Dm
Does your memory stray to yesterday
Am D7 G7
and take it to a heart that was light and gay
C C7 F Dm
Won't you come back for I still love you
C G C
My old pal of yesterday
C G
When the whippoorwill calls in the wild wood
C G
to his mate who is drifting away
C C7 F Dm
Then my heart rambles back to my childhood
C G C G
of my old pal of yesterday
[CHORUS]
C G
Now, laughter and gladness don't know me
C G
and smiles are like strangers today
C C7 F Dm
What friend could this happiness show me
C G C G
Oh, it's my old pal of yesterday
[CHORUS]
