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.
