Picture from Life's Other Side Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In the world's mighty
gallery of pictures
There's [C]scenes that're
painted from [G]life
Scenes of youth and of beauty
[D]Scenes of hardship and strife
[G]Scenes of

[Verse 2]
wealth and of plenty
Old [C]age and a blushing young [G]bride
Hang [C]on the wall but the [G]saddest of all
Is the pic[D]tures from
life's other [G]side

[Verse 3]
A picture from [G]life's other side
Some[C]body has fell by the [G]way
And a life has gone out with the tide
That might [D]have been
happy some day
There's [G]a poor

[Verse 4]
old mother at home
She's [C]watching and waiting [G]alone
Long[C]ing to hear from a [G]loved one so dear
Just a pic[D]ture from life's other [G]side

[Verse 5]
[G]
Now the first scene is one of two brothers
Who [C]had lost all of his money at [G]play
One lived in luxury and riches
And [D]the other went beg for his bread
One [G]night they

[Verse 6]
met on the highway
"Your [C]money or lives, sir," they [G]cried
[C]Then with his knife took
[G]his own brother life
That's a pic[D]ture from life's other [G]side

[Verse 7]
Now [G]the next scene is that by the river
A [C]heartbroken mother and [G]babe
In the harbor lights shine and they shiver
Out[D]cast, soon no one will save

[Verse 8]
Once [G]she was once a true
woman
[C]Somebody's darling [G]and pride
God [C]help her she leaps,
there's [G]no one to weep
That's a [D]picture from
life's other [G]side

[Verse 9]
That's [G]a picture from life's other side
Some[C]body has fell by the [G]way
And a life has gone out with the tide
That [D]might have been happy some day

[Verse 10]
[G]Some poor mother at home
[C]Watching and waiting [G]alone
[C]Longing to hear from a
[G]loved one so dear
That's a [D]picture from life's other [G]side
