Maybe someone else will help with chords

Would you like to know a secret
Just between you and me?
I don't know where I'm goin'next
Don't know who I'm gonna be

But that's the other side to this life
I been leadin
That's the other side of this life

The whole world's in an uproar
The whole world's upside down
I don't know where I'm goin'
but I'm always bummin' round

And that's another side...

Well I don't know what I'm doin'
Half the time I don't know where I'll go
Think I'll get me a sailin' boat
And sail the Gulf of Mexico

But that's another side..

Well I think I'll go to Nashville
Down to Tennessee
This ten-cent life I been leadin'
Bound to be the death of me

But that's the other...

Would you like to know(repeat first vs and chorus)

OTHER SIDE TO THIS LIFE
(Fred Neil)

Would you like to know a secret
Just between you and me?
I don't know where I'm goin' next
I don't know where I'm gonna be

But that's the other side to this life
I been leadin
But that's the other side to this life

Well, my whole world's in an uproar
My whole world's upside down
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I'm always bummin' round

And that's another side...

Well I don't know what I'm doin'
Half the time I don't know where I'll go
I think I'll get me a sailin' boat
And sail the Gulf of Mexico

But that's another side..

Well I think I'll go to Nashville
Down to Tennessee
The ten-cent life I been leadin' here
Gonna be the death of me

But that's the other...

THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS LIFE
(Fred Neil)

Would you like to know a secret
Just between you and me?
I don't know where I'm goin' next
I don't know where I'm gonna be

There's another side to this life
I been livin'
And there's another side to this life

Well, this whole world's in an uproar
My whole world's upside down
I don't know where I'm goin' next
This doubt just keeps comin' round (???)

But that's another side..

Baby I think I'll go to Nashville
Down to Tennessee
The ten-cent life I been leadin' here
Almost been the death of me

And there's another...

And there's another side...

I don't know where I'm goin' next
I don't know where I'll go
Maybe I'll get me a sailboat
And sail the Gulf of Mexico

And there's another...

Well, I don't know what to tell ya,
Yes, maybe just so long, goodbye,
If I'm never back this way,
Hear me singin' the same song

And there's another side....

Joe, looks like you accidentally posted the same link twice. Here's the 1998 recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnk7mc9m1oo [Thanks. Error fixed. -Joe-]

The stanza you're having trouble with is:

Well, this whole world's in an uproar
My old world's upside down
I don't know where I'm goin' next
Guess I'll just keeps bummin' 'round

The version I learned back in the mists of sentimental amnesia was in G but Neil on the versions I’ve heard played it in D. He had a riff coming down from D7 repeated through the verse. When he hits the chorus he goes to G for one bar then C one bar back to D one bar then D. Chorus line is four bars so play the pattern twice. So: verse 8 bars on D, chorus 8 bars, 2 times 2. G C D D If that makes sense…
