C                                  Dm
Walking down the streets of my hometown 
                  G7             C
I'm back again to end my roaming around
                                Dm
I'm looking for the girl I left behind 
                  G7                C
The one I love an old sweetheart of mine

                             Dm
I only meant to ramble for a while 
                  G7                  C
I said goodbye my heart was young and wild
                                  Dm
I wonder if she missed me all the time 
                      G7                C
The way I missed that old sweetheart of mine

  F        Em       F             C
I traveled traveled never could I find 
  F              C                 Dm
A girl like that old sweetheart of mine
C                                 Dm
I hear the church bells ring as I pass by 
                     G7               C
There goes the happy groom and lovely bride
                                        Dm
My heart stops beating as her eyes meet mine
                      G7                C
Too late I found that old sweetheart of mine

                                   Dm
Walking down the streets of my hometown 
                G7           C
I'm on my way I guess I roam around
                             Dm
But as I go I leave my heart behind 
                      G7                C
I'll always love that old sweetheart of mine
     Dm               G7                C
I'll always love that old sweetheart of mine
