A Picture From Lifes Other Side chords

Intro [A7] [D]

[D]In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the [G]scenes that are painted from [D]life

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

Just a picture from life's other side
Some[G]one has fell by the [D]way

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 [G]lost all his money at [D]play

And he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
That she [E7]wore long ago on her wedding [A7]day

It's his [D]last earthly treasure but he stakes it
Then he [G]bows his head that his shame he may [D]hide
But when [G]they lifted his head they [D]found he was dead
That's just a [A7]picture from life's other [D]side

Now the last scene is that by the river
Of a [G]heartbroken mother and [D]babe

As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
On an [E7]outcast whom no one will [A7]save

And yet [D]she was once a true woman
She was [G]somebody's darling and [D]pride
God [G]help her she leaps for there's no [D]one to weep
It's just a [A7]picture from life's other [D]side
