Picture From Life's Other Side-Hank Williams SR.
Capo 2nd Fret Key:E/Play:D
DIn the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang tGhe scenes that are paintedD from life
There's pictures of love and of passion
Then therE7e's pictures of peace and of A7strife
There hanDg pictures of youth and of beauty
Of oldG age and a blushing young bDride
They alGl hang on the wall bDut the saddest of all
are tA7he pictures from life's otherD side
Chorus:
DJust a picture from life's other side
SomeGone has fell by the wDay
DA life has gone out with the tide
E7That might have been happy someA7 day
There's aD poor old mother at home
GShe' watching and waiting alDone
GJust longing to hear, from a Dloved one so dear
A7It's just a picture from life otheDr side
Verse 1:
DThe first scene is that of a gambler
GWho lost all his moneyD at play
DAnd as he draws his dead mothers' ring from his finger
E7That she wore long ago on herA7 wedding day
DIt's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
GThen he bows his head that his Dshame he may hide
GBut when they lifted his head, thDey found he was dead
A7It's just a picture from life's othDer side
Chorus
Verse 2:(follow the pattern for verse 1)
The next was a scene of two brothers
Whose pathways so different had lead
One lived the life of a rich man
The other he begged for his bread
Then one night they met on the highway
"Your money or life" the thief cried
And then with his knife took his own brothers' life
It's just a picture from life's side
Chorus
Verse 3: (follow pattern)
Now the last scene is that by a river
Of a heartbroken mother and babe
While the harbor lights shine and they shiver
On an outcast that noone will save
And yet she was once a true woman
She was someones' darling and pride
God help her she leaps for there's noone to weep
It's just a picture from life's other side
Chorus
