[INTRO]
[D7] [G]
[VERSE 1]
[G]In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the [C]scenes that are painted from [G]life
There's pictures of love and of [G]passion
Then there's [A7]pictures of peace and of st[D7]rife
[VERSE 2]
There hang [G]pictures of youth and of beauty
Of old [C]age and the blushing young [G]bride
They all [C]hang on the wall but the [G]saddest of all
Are the [D7]pictures from life's other [G]side
[CHORUS]
[G]Just a picture from life's other side
Some[C]one has fell by the [G]way
A l[G]ife has gone out with the tide
That [A7]might have been happy some [D7]day
There's a [G]poor old mother at home
She's [C]watching and waiting a[G]lone
Just [C]longing to hear from a [G]loved one so dear
It's just a [D7]picture from life's other [G]side
[VERSE 3]
The first s[G]cene is that of a gambler
Who had [C]lost all his money at [G]play
And he [C]draws his dead mother's ring from his [G]finger
That she [A7]wore long ago on her wedding [D7]day
[VERSE 4]
It's his [G]last earthly treasure but he stakes it
Then he [C]bows his head that his shame he may [G]hide
But when [C]they lifted his head they [G]found he was dead
That's just a [D7]picture from life's other [G]side
[VERSE 5]
The next [G]tale is that of two brothers
Who's [C]paths in life different [G]led.
For one was a [C]luxury in living, but the other brother [G]begged for his bread
Then one dark [D7]night night they met on the highway, your money or life the thief cried
And then with his knife, het took his [G]own brother's life
It's just a [D7]picture from life's other [G]side
[VERSE 5]
Now the last [G]scene is that by the river
Of a [C]heartbroken mother and [G]babe
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
On an [A7]outcast whom no one will [D7]save
And yet [G]she was once a true woman
She was [C]somebody's darling and [G]pride
God [C]help her she leaps for there's no [G]one to weep
It's just a [D7]picture from life's other [G]side.
