Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]In the world's mighty
gallery of pictures
There's [C]scenes that are
painted from [G]life
Scenes of youth and of beauty
[D]Scenes of hardships and strife
[G]Scenes of wealth and of plenty,
old [C]age and a blushing young [G]bride
Hang [C]on the wall, but the [G]saddest of all
is the [D]picture from life's other [G]side
A picture from life's other side
Somebody [C]has felled by the [G]way,
And a life has gone out with the tide,
That might [D]have been happy some day.
[G]Some poor mother at home,
Is [C]watching and waiting [G]alone,
[C]Longing to hear from her
[G]loved one so dear,
That's a picture [D]from life's other [G]side.
Now the first scene is one
of two brothers
Their [C]paths in life differently [G]led
One lived in luxury and riches
And the [D]other one begged for his bread
One [G]night they met on the highway
Your [C]money, your life, Sir, [G]one cried
[C]Then, with his knife,
took [G]his own brother's life
That's a [D]picture from
life's other [G]side
Now the next scene is down by the river
A [C]heartbroken mother and [G]babe
In the harbor light glare see them shiver,
Out[D]casts that no one will save.
[G]Once she was a true woman,
[C]Somebody's darling in [G]pride.
God [C]help her she leaps,
there's [G]no one to weep,
That's [D]a picture from life's other side.
[G]Just a picture from life's other side.
[C]Somebody has fell by the [G]way.
And a life that's gone out with the tide.
That might [D]have been happy some day.
[G]Some poor mother at home,
[C]watching and waiting [G]alone.
[C]Longing to hear from [G]her loved one so dear,
that's a [D]picture from life's other [G]side.
