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
