[Chorus 1]
Em
On the other side of lonesome
A D
There's a place for you
Bm
Children laugh
Em
The sun is shining
A
And everybody smiles
D
When you walk in the room
[Verse 1]
Em
Even a lovely rainbow
A D
Is with a streak of blue
Bm Em
And a beat-up old guitar
A D
Can still sing a happy song when it's out of tune
G
Across the valley of the shadows
A D
Over the mountain of the blues
Bm Em
Just past that ocean full of noise
A
There's still a silent voice
D G D
Calling out for you
[Chorus 1]
Em
On the other side of lonesome
A D
There's a place for you
Bm
Children laugh
Em
The sun is shining
A
And everybody smiles
D
When you walk in the room
Em A
So come on now brother
A D
What I'm speaking is the truth
Bm Em
On the other side of lonesome
A D G D
There's a place for you
[Verse 2]
Em
Don't you waste another minute
A D
Planning your goodbye getaway
Bm Em
Life's a race you're bound to finish
A
We're not meant to know
D G D
The hour or the day
Em
So come on now brother
A D
Must be something we can do
Bm Em
Don't pull that pistol out your pocket
A
Go on, shake the mud off them boots
Em
Maybe we can grab some coffee
A D
Teach each other a thing or two
Bm Em
And on the other side of lonesome
A D G D
There's a place for you
[Chorus 2]
Em
On the other side of lonesome
A D G D
There's a place for you
