[Verse 1]
In the Gworld's mighty galleries of pictures
Hang the Cscenes that are painted from lifeG  
The Gpictures of love and of passion
There's A7pictures of peace and of strifeD7  
Then there are Gpictures of youth and of beauty
Of old Cage and the blushing young brideG  
They all Chang on the wall, but the Gsaddest of all
Are the Dpictures from D7life's other sidGe
[Verse 2]
'Tis a Gpicture from life's other side
SomeCone who's fell by the Gway
A lGife has gone out with the tide
That A7might have been happy some D7day
There's a Gpoor old mother at home
Just Cwatching and waiting aGlone
She's Clonging to hear from her Gloved one so dear
It's a Dpicture from D7life's other sGide
[Verse 3]
The Gfirst scene is that of a gambler
Who had Clost all his money at playG  
Drew his Gdead mother's ring from his finger
Yes, the A7one she wore on her wedding dayD7  
His Glast earthly treasure, he stakes it
And he Cbows his head, his shame he might hGide
Then when they Clifted his head they Gfound he was dead
Another Dpicture from D7life's other sGide
[Verse 4]
The Gnext tale is that of two brothers
Whose Cpaths in life different ledG  
For oGne was a luxury in living
But the other A7brother begged for his breD7ad
Then one Gdark night they met on the highway
Your Cmoney or life, the thief criedG  
And then Cwith his knife, he took his Gown brother's life
Just a Dpicture from D7life's other sidGe
[Verse 5]
The Glast scene is that by the river
Of a Cheartbroken mother and babeG  
As the Gharbor lights shine and they shiver
On an A7outcast whom no one will saveD7  
And Gyet she was once a true woman
She was Csomebody's darling and prideG  
God Chelp her she leaps, but there's Gno one to weep
It's just a Dpicture from D7life's other sGide
[Verse 6]
There's a Gnew scene now in Korea
Of a Cboy with a gun in the snowG  
In a Gfoxhole, frozen and homesick
He's fA7ighting for us as you knowD7  
He's Glonesome and weary and frightened
His lCife may go out with the tideG  
But pray CGod, he'll return to the Gloved ones who yearn
It's just a Dpicture from D7life's other sGide

[Verse 1]

In the world's mighty galleries of pictures

C G

Hang the scenes that are painted from life

The pictures of love and of passion

A7 D7

There's pictures of peace and of strife

Then there are pictures of youth and of beauty

C G

Of old age and the blushing young bride

C G

They all hang on the wall, but the saddest of all

D D7 G

Are the pictures from life's other side

[Verse 2]

'Tis a picture from life's other side

C G

Someone who's fell by the way

A life has gone out with the tide

A7 D7

That might have been happy some day

There's a poor old mother at home

C G

Just watching and waiting alone

C G

She's longing to hear from her loved one so dear

D D7 G

It's a picture from life's other side

[Verse 3]

The first scene is that of a gambler

C G

Who had lost all his money at play

Drew his dead mother's ring from his finger

A7 D7

Yes, the one she wore on her wedding day

His last earthly treasure, he stakes it

C G

And he bows his head, his shame he might hide

C G

Then when they lifted his head they found he was dead

D D7 G

Another picture from life's other side

[Verse 4]

The next tale is that of two brothers

C G

Whose paths in life different led

For one was a luxury in living

A7 D7

But the other brother begged for his bread

Then one dark night they met on the highway

C G

Your money or life, the thief cried

C G

And then with his knife, he took his own brother's life

D D7 G

Just a picture from life's other side

[Verse 5]

The last scene is that by the river

C G

Of a heartbroken mother and babe

As the harbor lights shine and they shiver

On an outcast whom no one will save

And yet she was once a true woman

She was somebody's darling and pride

C G

God help her she leaps, but there's no one to weep

D D7 G

It's just a picture from life's other side

[Verse 6]

There's a new scene now in Korea

C G

Of a boy with a gun in the snow

In a foxhole, frozen and homesick

A7 D7

He's fighting for us as you know

He's lonesome and weary and frightened

C G

His life may go out with the tide

C G

But pray God, he'll return to the loved ones who yearn

D D7 G

It's just a picture from life's other side
