Picture From Life's Other Side chords

Capo 2nd Fret Key:E/Play:D

[D]In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang t[G]he scenes that are painted[D] from life
There's pictures of love and of passion
Then ther[E7]e's pictures of peace and of [A7]strife
There han[D]g pictures of youth and of beauty
Of old[G] age and a blushing young b[D]ride
They al[G]l hang on the wall b[D]ut the saddest of all
are t[A7]he pictures from life's other[D] side

[CHORUS]

[D]Just a picture from life's other side
Some[G]one has fell by the w[D]ay
[D]A life has gone out with the tide
[E7]That might have been happy some[A7] day
There's a[D] poor old mother at home
[G]She' watching and waiting al[D]one
[G]Just longing to hear, from a [D]loved one so dear
[A7]It's just a picture from life othe[D]r side

[VERSE 1]
[D]The first scene is that of a gambler
[G]Who lost all his money[D] at play
[D]And as he draws his dead mothers' ring from his finger
[E7]That she wore long ago on her[A7] wedding day
[D]It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
[G]Then he bows his head that his [D]shame he may hide
[G]But when they lifted his head, th[D]ey found he was dead
[A7]It's just a picture from life's oth[D]er side

[CHORUS]

Verse 2:(follow the pattern for verse 1)
The next was a scene of two brothers
Whose pathways so different had lead
One lived the life of a rich man
The other he 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 brothers' life
It's just a picture from life's side

[CHORUS]

Verse 3: (follow pattern)
Now the last scene is that by a river
Of a heartbroken mother and babe
While the harbor lights shine and they shiver
On an outcast that noone will save
And yet she was once a true woman
She was someones' darling and pride
God help her she leaps for there's noone to weep
It's just a picture from life's other side
