[Intro]
  D7     G
|  | % |  | % |
[Verse 1]
       G
In the world's mighty galleries of pictures
         C                                 G
Hang the scenes that are painted from life
    G
The pictures of love and of passion
        A7                             D7
There's pictures of peace and of strife
               G
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]
       G
'Tis a picture from life's other side
    C                     G
Someone who's fell by the way
   G
A life has gone out with the tide
     A7                         D7
That might have been happy some day
          G
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]
    G
The first scene is that of a gambler
        C                          G
Who had lost all his money at play
         G
Drew his dead mother's ring from his finger
         A7                              D7
Yes, the one she wore on her wedding day
    G
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]
    G
The next tale is that of two brothers
      C                           G
Whose paths in life different led
     G
For one was a luxury in living
              A7                        D7
But the other brother begged for his bread
         G
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]
    G
The last scene is that by the river
     C                           G
Of a heartbroken mother and babe
       G
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
      A7                            D7
On an outcast whom no one will save
    G
And yet she was once a true woman
        C                            G
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]
          G
There's a new scene now in Korea
     C                          G
Of a boy with a gun in the snow
     G
In a foxhole, frozen and homesick
      A7                        D7
He's fighting for us as you know
     G
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
