The verses may be in the wrong order but it's all pretty much the same:
D D
In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
G D
There're scenes that are painted from life,
D D
Scenes of youth and of beauty,
A7 A7
Scenes of hardship and strife,
D D
Scenes of wealth and of plenty,
G D
Old age and the blushing young bride,
G D
They hang on the wall - but the saddest of all
A7 D
Are the pictures from life's other side.
D D
A picture from life's other side
G D
Someone has fell by the way
D D
And a life has gone out with the tide
A7 A7
That might have been happy someday
D D
Some poor mother at home
G D
Is watching and a-waiting alone
G D
Longing to hear - from her loved one so dear
A7 D
That's a picture from life's other side.
D D
Now the first scene is one of two brothers
G D
Their paths them both diff'rently led
D D
One lived in luxury and riches
A7 A7
And the other one begged for his bread
D D
One night they met on the highway
G D
"Your money or life, sir", one cried
G D
And then with his knife - took his own brother's life
A7 D
That's a picture from life's other side.
D D
The next scene is that of a gambler
G D
Who had lost all his money at play
D D
An' he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
A7 A7
That she wore long ago on her wedding day
D D
It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it
G D
Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
G D
But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead
A7 D
That's a picture from life's other side.
D D
A picture from life's other side
G D
Someone has fell by the way
D D
And a life has gone out with the tide
A7 A7
That might have been happy someday
D D
Some poor mother at home
G D
Is watching and a-waiting alone
G D
Longing to hear - from her loved one so dear
A7 D
That's a picture from life's other side.
D D
Now the last scene is down by the river
G D
Of a heart-broken mother and babe
D D
In the harbor light glare see them shiver
A7 A7
Outcasts that no one will save
D D
Once she was once a true woman
G D
Somebody's darlin' and pride
G D
God help her, she leaps - for there's no one to weep
A7 D
That's a picture from life's other side.
D D
A picture from life's other side
