Pictures From Life's Other Side Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Pictures from [G]life's other side
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
In a world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the [C]scenes that are painted
from [G]life
The pictures of love and of passion
There's [A]pictures of keys and of strife
[D]

[Verse 3]
Then there [G]are pictures
of youth and of beauty
Of old [D]age and a [G]blushing young bride
They [D]all [C]hung on the wall,
but [G]the saddest of all
Are the pic[D]tures from life's
other side
[G]

[Verse 4]
There's a picture from
life's other side
[C]Someone whose fell by the [G]way
A life has gone out with the tide
That [A]might have been
happy some [D]day

[Verse 5]
There's [G]a poor old mother at home
Just [C]watching and waiting [G]alone
She's [C]longing to hear from
a [G]loved one so dear
It's [D]a picture from life's other side
[G]

[Verse 6]
The first scene is that of a gambler
Who had [C]lost all of his money at [G]play
Drew his dead mother's
ring from his finger
Yes, the [A]one she wore [Ebdim]on
her [A]wedding day
[D]

[Verse 7]
His [G]last earthly treasure, he stakes it
And [A]he bows his [C]head,
his shame he might [G]hide
Then, when [C]they lifted his head,
[G]they found he was dead
Another pic[D]ture from life's
other side
[G]

[Verse 8]
The next tale is that of two brothers
Who's [D]passing [Cm]life[C] diffe[G]rently
For one was a luxury in living
But the other [D]brother [A]beg for his bread
[D]

[Verse 9]
Then one [G]dark night,
they met on the highway
Your money [C]or life the thief [G]cried
And then [C]with his knife,
he took his [G]own brother's life
Just [D]a picture from life's
other side
[G]

[Verse 10]
The last scene is that by the river
[D]Of a heart[C]broken[Cm]
[C]mother and [G]baby
As the harbor lights shine
[A]and the[D]y shiver[G]
On [A]an outcast tune,
no one will save
[D]

[Verse 11]
[G]And yet, she was once a true woman
She was [C]somebody's
darling and [G]pride
God [C]help her, she leaps,
but there's [G]no one to weep
It's just [D]a picture from
life's other side
[G]

[Verse 12]
There's a new scene now in Korea
Of a [C]boy with a gun in the [G]snow
[D]In [G]a foxhole frozen and home sick
His [D]fight[A]ing for us, guess [D]you know

[Verse 13]
[D]
He's [G]lonesome and weary, and frightened
His [D]life [A]may go [C]out with [G]the tide
But pray [C]God,
he'll return to [G]the love ones who he yearn
It's just [D]a picture from
life's other side
[G]

[Verse 14]
Thank you, Hank, that's really fine
Old timer there, pictures from life's other side
