Well I used to roll and I used to ramble
           B      G#       C#
Out on the wilder side of town
C#
Every night I hear the  bright lights calling
        B               G#          C#
I never thought I could ever settle down.
               F#                        C#
Well, I seen a whole lot of pain  and trouble
                         G#
In this lonesome life of mine
                F#                   C#
But you gave me love and you gave it double
                B       G#                C#
And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines
            B              G#                C#
I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines
C#
Now you searched the dark side of the  mountain
        B             G#                        C#
Just to find what you thought true love  should be

But you found a heart that you never knew   ?????
             B             G#             C#
When you got around to the other side of  me.
               F#                        C#
Well, I seen a whole lot of pain  and trouble
                         G#
In this lonesome love of mine
                F#                   C#
But you gave me love and you gave it double
                B       G#                C#
And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines
            B              G#                C#
I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines.

Now you make me feel lovesick darlin'
          B        G#                C#
The way I did back when my heart was young
              C#
But I'm young enough to start all over
        B         G#                C#
And old enough to show you how it's done
               F#                        C#
Well, I seen a whole lot of pain  and trouble
                         G#
In this lonesome life of mine
                F#                   C#
But you gave me love and you gave it double
                B       G#                C#
And I'll always be your sweetheart of the pines
            B              G#                C#
I'll always be your little sweetheart of the pines
