Hank Williams - A Picture From Lifes Other Side Chords

[Intro]
 D7   G

[Verse 1]
G
In the world's mighty galleries of pictures
         C                            G
Hang the scenes that are painted from life

There's pictures of love and of passion
             A7                       D7
Then there's pictures of peace and of strife
           G
There hang 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
        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

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
             D7                        G
It's just 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

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
          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.

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
         D7                       G
Just a picture from life's other side.



[Verse 5]
         G
Now the last scene is that by the river
      C                     G
Of a heartbroken mother and babe

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
             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.

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
             D7                        G
It's just a picture from life's other side
