Side By Side

Words & Music:

Harry MacGregor Woods

 

According to the wonderful Jumbo Jim's Archive:  "Harry Woods, who practiced songwriting only as a sideline, wrote numerous 20s standards, including "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbing Along," "I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover," and "Try a Little Tenderness." He composed his songs on piano...despite the fact that he was born without fingers on his left hand."

 

(G7) C                       F  C

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money,

C                      F   C

Maybe we're ragged and funny,

C7         F             C         A7    D7  G7  C     G7

But we'll travel along, singin' a song, side by side.

 

 

Don't know what's comin' tomorrow;

Maybe it's trouble and sorrow,

C7         F              C            A7   D7  G7  C    C/B

But we'll travel our road sharin' our load side by side.

 

BRIDGE:

E7                             A7

Through all kinds of weather, what if the sky should fall?

    D7                         G7             Gdim      G7

As long as we're together, it really doesn't matter at all.

 

When they've all had their troubles and parted,

We'll be the same as we started,

C7   F                 C        A7     D7  G7  C    C/B

Just trav'lin' along, singin' a song, side by side.
