[Intro] D7 G [Verse 1]

^GIn the world's mighty galleries of pictures Hang the ^Cscenes that are painted from ^Glife

There's pictures of love and of passion

Then there's ^A7pictures of peace and of ^D7strife There hang ^Gpictures of youth and of beauty Of old ^Cage and the blushing young b^Gride They all ^Chang on the wall but the s^Gaddest of all Are the ^D7pictures from life's other ^Gside

[Verse 2]

]Tis a pi^Gcture from life's other side Some^Cone who's fell by the ^Gway

A life has gone out with the tide

That ^A7might have been happy some ^D7day There's a p^Goor old mother at home Just wat^Cching and waiting alo^Gne She's lo^Cnging to hear from her lo^Gved one so dear It's just a p^D7icture from life's other s^Gide

[Verse 3]

The f^Girst scene is that of a gambler Who had l^Cost all his money at p^Glay

Drew his dead mother's ring from his finger

Yes, the one she w^A7ore on her wedding ^D7day His l^Gast earthly treasure, he stakes it And he bows his he^Cad, his shame he might h^Gide Then when they li^Cfted his head they fo^Gund he was dead Another pi^D7cture from life's other si^Gde

[Verse 4]

The n^Gext tale is that of two brothers Whose pa^Cths in life, different l^Ged.

For one was a luxury in living

But the ot^A7her brother begged for his b^D7read. Then one d^Gark night they met on the highway Your m^Coney or life, the thief c^Gried. And th^Cen with his knife, he took his o^Gwn brother's life Just a pi^D7cture from life's other s^Gide.

[Verse 5]

Now the l^Gast scene is that by the river Of a h^Ceartbroken mother and ^Gbabe

As the harbor lights shine and they shiver

On an o^A7utcast whom no one will s^D7ave And yet s^Ghe was once a true woman She was s^Comebody's darling and p^Gride God h^Celp her she leaps, but there's ^Gno one to weep It's just a p^D7icture from life's other s^Gide

[Verse 6]

There's a n^Gew scene now in Korea Of a b^Coy with a gun in the s^Gnow.

In a foxhole, frozen and homesick

He's f^A7ighting for us, as you k^D7now He's l^Gonesome and weary and frightened His li^Cfe may go out with the t^Gide But pray G^Cod he'll return to the lo^Gved ones who yearn It's just a p^D7icture from life's other s^Gide
