On The Other Side Of The World-1947C
Fred Godfrey
G Em
Now I had a notion, while crossing the ocean,
G Am
That the world was anything but small.
D7 G Em
But when I landed here, it was soon very clear,
D A7 D7
That its not so big after all,
G Em
Cos theres your own kith and kin there to welcome you in,
G Am
On the other side of the world,
D7
Theres the same kindly folk, who crack the same kind of joke,
G
On the other side of the world
D7 G G7 C
And if you go for a stroll youll see a flag on the pole, and meet the
A7 D7
People who kept it unfurled
G D7 G E7
And when a couples honey doving its the same old kind of loving,
A7 D7 G D
On the other side of the world
G Em
Though were miles from our shore its like living next door,
G Am
On the other side of the world,
D7 G Em
Weve the same kind of names and play the same kind of games,
D A7 D7
On the other side of the world
G G7 C
And when the trouble is thick, like glue to - gether well stick,
A7 D7
And well keep the old banner unfurled
G D7 G E7
So its a very happy meeting and I bring a special greeting,
A7 D7 G
From the other side of the world
