A Picture From Lifes Other

Hank Williams
 D
  In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
 GD
Hang the  scenes that are painted from life  
There's pictures of love and of passion
 E7A7
Then there's  pictures of peace and of  strife
 D
There hang  pictures of youth and of beauty
 GD
Of old  age and the blushing young  bride
 GD
They all  hang on the wall - but the  saddest of all
 A7D
Are the  pictures from life's other  side.

 D
  Just a picture from life's other side
 GD
Some- one has fell by the way  
A life has gone out with the tide
 E7A7
That  might have been happy some  day
 D
There's a  poor old mother at home
 GD
She's  watching and waiting a- lone
 GD
Just  longing to hear - from a  loved one so dear
 A7D
It's just a  picture from life's other  side.

The first scene is that of a gambler
Who had lost all his money at play
An' he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
That she wore long ago on her wedding day
It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it
Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead
That's just a picture from life's other side.

Now the last scene is that by the river
Of a heart-broken 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 darlin' and pride
God help her, she leaps - for there's no one to weep
It's just a picture from life's other side.

EXTRA VERSE:
The next was a scene of two brothers
Whose pathways so diff'rent had led
One lived the life of a rich man
The other one begged for his bread
Then one night they met on the highway
"Your money or life", the thief cried
And then with his knife - took his own brother's life
It's just a picture from life's other side.
