[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.
