F                         Dm
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
