You can hear the chords for this song on Sound Cloud:
https://soundcloud.com/toffee-music/sets/cats-and-mandolins/
On the Sound Cloud track we play it with CAPO 4 - actually in F#m and A.
This version is based on the singing of Lee Morse - an excellent female singer/guitarist.
You can find her 1927 version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7mRwA9NQzc
It has the verse part (largely ignored these days) and it uses a minor key in the start of CHORUS 2.

VERSE 1
[Dm] [G7]
See that sun in the morning peeking over the hill
[A] [Dm] [E] [A7]
I'll bet you're sure it always has I'm sure it always will.
[Dm] [G7]
That's how I feel about someone and somebody feels about me.
[A] [Dm] [E] [C7]
We're sure we love each other and that's the way we'll always be.
CHORUS 1
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
Oh we ain't got a barrel of mo-ney Maybe we're ragged and fu-nny
[Bb] [Abdim] [F] [D7] [Gm7] [C7] [F] [C]
But we'll travel a-long, singing a song Side by side.
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
Don't know what's coming tomo-rrow Maybe it's trouble and so-rrow
[Bb] [Abdim] [F] [D7] [Gm7] [C7] [F] [E7]
But we'll travel a-long singing a song Side by side.
[A7] [D5]
Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall?
[G6] [Gm7] [C7]
As long as we're together It doesn't matter at all.
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
And when they've all had their troubles and par-ted We'll be the same as we star-ted
[Bb] [Abdim] [F] [D7] [Gm7] [C7] [F]
Just travelling a-long, singing a song Side by side.
VERSE 2
[Dm] [G7]
We're all hunting for something - something we don't know what
[A] [Dm] [E] [A7]
'Cos none of us is satisfied with things we know we've got.
[Dm] [G7]
We all forget about moonlight as soon as we've given our vow
[A] [Dm] [E] [C7]
But we'd all be so happy if we'd start and sing right now:
[MINOR CHORUS 2]
[Fm] [Bbm] [Fm] [Bbm] [Fm]
Oh we ain't got a barrel of mon-ey Maybe we're ragged and funn-y
[Bbm] [Fm] [C7] [Fm] [C7]
But we'll travel along, singing a song Side by side.
[Fm] [Bbm] [Fm] [Bbm] [Fm]
Don't know what's coming tomo - rrow Maybe it's trouble and so - rrow
[Bbm] [Fm] [C7] [Fm] [E7]
But we'll travel the road sharing our load Side by side.
[A7] [D5]
Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall?
[G6] [Gm7] [C7]
As long as we're together It doesn't matter at all.
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
And if she goes and she takes her a no-tion to jump and to drown in the o -cean
[Bb] [Abdim] [F] [D7] [Gm7] [C7] [F]
We'll sink as a pair - it's me and it's her Side by side.
