Now I had a notion, while crossing the ocean,
F Dm
That the world was anything but small.
C7 F Dm
But when I landed here, it was soon very clear,
G D7 C7
That it’s not so big after all,
F Dm
Cos there’s your own kith and kin there to welcome you in,
F Dm
On the other side of the world,
C7
There’s the same kindly folk, who crack the same kind of joke,
F
On the other side of the world
C7 F C7 F
And if you go for a stroll you’ll see a flag on the pole, and meet the
D7 C7
People who kept it unfurled
F C7 F A7
And when a couples honey –doving it’s the same old kind of loving,
D7 C7 F G
On the other side of the world
F Dm
Though we’re miles from our shore its like living next door,
F Dm
On the other side of the world,
C7
We’ve the same kind of names and play the same kind of games,
F
On the other side of the world
F C7 F
And when the trouble is thick, like glue to - gether we’ll stick,
D7 C7
And we’ll keep the old banner unfurled
F C7 F A7
So it’s a very happy meeting and I bring a special greeting,
D7 C7 F
From the other side of the world
