just came a cross this info...The name Opie has a historical reference rooted in music. Opie Cates was a prominent band leader in the 1930s and 1940s. Andy Griffith and the show’s producer, Sheldon Leonard, were big fans of Cates’ music so they decided to honor him.

After a great deal of rewriting of lyrics and changing chords, I have finally reached the point where I am satisfied ( at least that I can't probably do much better than this). It did not start out as a love song, but somehow managed to twist and turn and eventually get there. Still is kind of a sad song, but not played in the blues style at all. I am going to delete the old post of the original that I posted to avoid any confusion.

I hope you like it....  I will try to get my version out sometime soon.

{t:The Other Side}

verse 1

[D]Tonight I heard a cryptic [A]message
Oh it[G] came from the other [D]side
[D] it knew my troubles,  and [A]every heartache
every [G]reason why  I 've ever   [D]cried

[D]Said it knew the pain that [A] I was feeling,
Be[G]neath  my crooked [D] smile
And [D]all  the lonely feelings, I’ve [A]ever  known
That [G]haunt me  all  the [D ]while

verse 2

[D]The other side knows the [A ]buried truth,
and my [G]deep secrets never [D]told
[D]It recalled those  loveless  [A] memories
that [G]has turned my heart stone [D] cold

[D]It knows all  fears  in[A]side my head, 
that [G]sometimes scream with [D]rage
As I [D]cry out for love to[A] help me  escape
from [ G]  this cold, steel like[D] cage

Chorus
[G]Oh the message from my re[Bm]flection, as I [G]look into the[A] mirror
it’s[G] mired in lyric, yet  be[Bm]tween the lines i [G] now see it so much  [A]clearer
but [Bm]hidden within my[G] inner self, its [D] always been my  sweetest [G]lie
that [D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye

Verse 3
[D] The other side sees my [A]demons
and  [G] allthe false dreams I [D]chase
[D]It knows my fears and  it [A]knows my hopes 
and [G]the harsh  reality I [D]face

And it[D] hears the quiet voice [A]inside of me,
When[G] I softly call   your [D] name
and[D]  whisper that I'm still   in [A]love with you
and [G] wonder if you feel the [D]same

Chorus
[G]Oh the message from my re[Bm]flection, as I [G]look into the[A] mirror
it’s[G] mired in lyric, yet  be[Bm]tween the lines i [G] now see it so much  [A]clearer
but [Bm]hidden within my[G] inner self, its [D] always been my  sweetest [G]lie
that [D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye

[D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye
[D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye
[D] there was no reason for [A] you to leave , [G] you never even said good[D]bye
