about
2.24.2018 A few nights ago my beautiful, gifted niece jay-bird took her own life. Crushed. Devastated. A very strange thing happened that night. I went to bed and this song came into my head almost in it's entirety… melody, chords, tempo, first 2 verses. I tossed on my pillow debating whether to get dressed, go down stairs and write it out. I declined, it was a sad song, fell asleep. Next day I'd completely forgotten it, until that late afternoon phone call. It flooded back into my head, finished it and recorded until mid-night. This is not meant consciously as consolation, just something that happened. Endless love to SAGE, CLAIRE, CRIS and especially to you JAE, you're a shining star who is bright on the other side.
lyrics
MEET YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE
A 72 ballad capo 2 drop D (rel G)
| A D | A E | F#- D | A E |
1
meet you on the other side
though it might take a while
can't wait to see that smile
smile that'll never die
meet me at the pearly gates
yeah it's gonna be great
all love and no hate
but it was worth the wait
2
see you again
my old friend
'cause it ain't the end
my love I'll always send
and I'll be right there
and we'll be every where
in the soil and the air
being without a care
3
meet you on the other side
though the river is wide
and I'll be by your side
until the end of time
meet me at the pearly gates
try not to be late
by chance or by fate
no matter how long we wait
