A Picture From Lifes Other Side chords

In the [D]world's mighty gallery of [D]pictures
There're [G]scenes that are painted from [D]life,
[D]Scenes of youth and of [D]beauty,
[A7]Scenes of hardship and [A7]strife,
[D]Scenes of wealth and of [D]plenty,
Old [G]age and the blushing young [D]bride,
They [G]hang on the wall - but the [D]saddest of all
Are the [A7]pictures from life's other [D]side.

A [D]picture from life's other [D]side
[G]Someone has fell by the [D]way
And a [D]life has gone out with the [D]tide
That [A7]might have been happy some[A7]day
[D]Some poor mother at [D]home
Is [G]watching and a-waiting [D]alone
[G]Longing to hear - from her [D]loved one so dear
That's a [A7]picture from life's other [D]side.

Now the [D]first scene is one of two [D]brothers
Their [G]paths them both diff'rently [D]led
[D]One lived in luxury and [D]riches
And the [A7]other one begged for his [A7]bread
[D]One night they met on the [D]highway
"Your [G]money or life, sir", one [D]cried
And [G]then with his knife - took his [D]own brother's life
That's a [A7]picture from life's other [D]side.

The [D]next scene is that of a [D]gambler
Who had [G]lost all his money at [D]play
An' he [D]draws his dead mother's ring from his [D]finger
That she [A7]wore long ago on her wedding [A7]day
It's his [D]last earthly treasure, but he [D]stakes it
Then he [G]bows his head that his shame he may [D]hide
But, when they [G]lifted his head - they [D]found he was dead
That's a [A7]picture from life's other [D]side.

[G]Longing to hear - from her [D]loved one so dear
That's a [A7]picture from life's other [D]side.

Now the [D]last scene is down by the [D]river
Of a [G]heart-broken mother and [D]babe
In the [D]harbor light glare see them [D]shiver
[A7]Outcasts that no one will [A7]save
[D]Once she was once a true [D]woman
[G]Somebody's darlin' and [D]pride
God [G]help her, she leaps - for there's [D]no one to weep
That's a [A7]picture from life's other [D]side.
