_ We're gonna start off here with a song that I've been hearing all my life.

56 years here it is awful beautiful thing called pictures from life's other side _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ in the world's [Em] mighty galleries [G] of pictures
_ _ Hang [C] the scenes that are painted [G] from life
_ _ _ The pictures of love and of passion
_ There's [B] _ [A] pictures of peace and of [D] _ strife
_ Then [G] there are pictures of youth and of beauty of _ _ [C] old age and the blushing [G] young bride
They _ _ [C] all hang on the wall
[G] But the saddest of all _ are the [D] pictures from life's [G] other side _ _
_ There's a picture from life's other _ _ _ side
[C] Someone _ who's fell by [G] the _ way
_ _ Life has gone out with the _ _ time
[A] That might have been happy _ [D] someday _ _
_ [G] There's a pearl mother at _ home
_ [C] Just watching and waiting
[G] _ _ _ _
She's [C] longing to hear
From [G] her loved one so dear.
[D] It's a picture from life's other [G] _ side
The _ first scene is that of a gambler _ who _ [C] had lost all his money at play
[G] Drew _ _ _ his dead mother's ring from his finger _ _ _
Yes, [A] the one she wore on her wedding [D] day
His _
_ [G] _ last earthly treasure.
He stakes it _ _ _
And [C] he bows his head his [G] shame he might hide _ _
[B] Then [C] when they lifted his head
_ [G] They found he was dead
_ another [D] picture from life's [G] other side _ _
_ The next tale is that of two brothers _ _ _
_ [C] Whose paths and life differently
_ [G] For _ _ _ _ one was a luxury in living
_ But _ _ the [A] other brother begged
for [D] his bread _ _
_ [G] Then one dark night they met on the highway
_ _ Your _ _ [C] money or life the thief [G] cried and _ _ [C] then with his knife
He [G] took his own brother's life
Just a [D] picture from life's other [G] side _ _
The _ last scene is that by the river _ _ _ _ [C] of a heartbroken mother and [G] baby _
as _ the harbor lights
shine and they shiver _
_ On [A] an outcast whom no one [C#] will [D] say _
_ And _ [G] yet she was once a true woman _
_ _ _ [C] She was somebody's darling and pride
[G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] God help her she leaps
But [G] there's no one to weep
It's [D] just a picture from life's [G] other side
_ _ _ There's a new scene now in Korea _ of _ _ [C] a boy with a gun in the [G] snow
in _ _ _ a foxhole
_ frozen and homesick _ _ _ _
He's [A] fighting for us, [C#m] [D] you know
_ He's _ _ [G] _ lonesome and weary and frightened _ _
His _ [C] life may go out with the tide
[G] _ But _ [D#] pray [C] God he'll return
_ [G] To the loved ones who yearn it's just [D] a picture from life's other _ [G] side _ _ _ _
