[Verse 1]
C G F C
A friend of mine called me just the other day
G F G
The sorrow in his voice hinted at what he had to say
F G Am
My love of many years has just a little time
F G C F Am C G
Before she has to go off to the other side
[Verse 2]
C G F C
He said it’s hard for me to even talk about it now
C G F G
It only makes me break down and want to cry enough to drown
F G Am
I can’t believe she has to go so early
F G C F Am C G
To join that field of diamonds in the sky
[Verse 3]
C G F C
I don’t know what to do except to try to make her smile
C G F G
The good times had together seemed just to short a while
F G Am
She smiles at me and tells me not to worry
F G C F Am C G
She said just live your life and don’t be in a hurry
Cause…..
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Someday we’ll be together on the other side
F G
Someday we’ll be holding hands
F G
Looking in each other’s eyes
F G
Our hearts and souls are tied together
C F C Am
As we say this next goodbye
F G
One day we’ll see each other’s smile
F G C F Am C G
When were together on the other side.
[Verse 4]
C G F C
As I looked into her face she began to reminisce
C G F G
Seemed like only yesterday when we had our first kiss
F G Am
She said the lights we saw in Nashville looks so pretty
F G C F Am C G
Hand in hand on the boardwalk in Ocean City
[Verse 5]
C G F C
Don’t be in a rush to wish your life away
C G F G
The show won’t last forever that’s what they all say
F G Am
The moments left to share are our treasure
F G C F Am C G
Our children need you now more than ever
Cause…..
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Someday we’ll be together on the other side
F G
Someday we’ll be holding hands
F G
Looking in each other’s eyes
F G
Our hearts and souls are tied together
C F C Am
As we say this next goodbye
F G
One day we’ll see each other’s smile
F G C
When were together on the other side.
F G
One day we’ll see each other’s smile
F G C F Am C G C
When were together on the other side.
