[F#m]
[B] [E]
[A] In the world's mighty gallery of pictures Hang [D] the scenes that are painted [A] from life
There are scenes of much grief and of passion [B] And pictures of love and of [E] strife
[A] The pictures of youth and of beauty [D] Old age and the blushing [A] young bride
[D] All hang on the wall, [A] but the saddest [F#m] of all [B] Is the picture [E] of life's [A] other side
The first scene was that of a gambler Who [D] lost all his money [A] at play
Took his dead mother's ring from his finger That [B] she wore on her glad wedding [E] day
Though [A] his last earthly treasure he staked it And [D] bowed that the shame he [A] might have
[D] They lifted his head, [A] but alas he [F#m] was dead [B] Is a picture [E] from life's other [A] side
Is a picture from life's other side Of [D] someone who fell [A] by the way
A light has gone out with the tide That [B] might have been happy [E] someday
[A] Some poor old mother at home Wakes [D] the ships that come in with [A] the tide
[D] She's waiting to hear [A] from a loved one so [F#m] dear Is [B] a picture from [E] life's other [A] side
[D]
[A]
[B] [E]
[A]
The next scene was that of two brothers [D] Whose pathways so different [A] had led
One of them lived the life of a rich man While [B] the other one begged for [E] his bread
Well, [A] then one night they met on the highway [D] Your money or your life, the [A] thief cried
[D] And then with his knife took [A] his own [F#m] brother's life Is [B] a picture [E] from life's other [A] side
The next scene was that by the river Of [D] a mother and babe in [A] despair
Neath the lights of the harbor they quivered [B] Rejected by those who [E] should care
[A] But yet she was once a true woman
[D] Somebody's darling [A] and proud
[D] God help her she leaps [A] There's no [F#m] one who weeps
[B] Is a picture [E] from life's [A] other side Is a picture from life's other side
[D] Of someone who fell by the [A] way
A light has gone out with the tide [B] That might have been happy [E] today
[A] Some poor old mother at home [D] Wakes the ships that come in with the [A] tide
[D] She's waiting to hear [A] from a loved one [F#m] so dear [B] Is a picture [E] from life's other [A] side
