CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: E/PLAY: D [D] In the world`s mighty gallery of pictures Hang the [G] scenes that are painted from life [D] There`s pictures of love and of passion Then there`s [E7] pictures of peace and of [A7] strife There hang [D] pictures of youth and of beauty Of old [G] age and the blushing young [D] bride They all [G] hang on the wall - but the [D] saddest of all Are the [A7] pictures from life`s other [D] side.
[D] Just a picture from life`s other side Some-[G] one has fell by the way [D] A life has gone out with the tide That [E7] might have been happy some [A7] day There`s a [D] poor old mother at home She`s [G] watching and waiting a-[D] lone Just [G] longing to hear - from a [D] loved one so dear It`s just a [A7] picture from life`s other [D] side.
The first scene is that of a gambler Who had lost all his money at play An` he draws his dead mother`s ring from his finger That she wore long ago on her wedding day It`s his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead That`s just a picture from life`s other side.
Now the last scene is that by the river Of a heart-broken mother and babe As the harbor lights shine and they shiver On an outcast whom no one will save And yet, she was once a true woman She was somebody`s darlin` and pride God help her, she leaps - for there`s no one to weep It`s just a picture from life`s other side.
EXTRA VERSE: The next was a scene of two brothers Whose pathways so diff`rent had led One lived the life of a rich man The other one begged for his bread Then one night they met on the highway "Your money or life", the thief cried And then with his knife - took his own brother`s life It`s just a picture from life`s other side.
