Pictures From Life's Other Side - Hank Williams

Intro:
D7D7 G+G

Verse 1:
G+G
In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
     C majorC              G+G
Hang the scenes that are painted from life
                G+G
There's pictures of love and of passion
       A7A7             D7D7
Then there's pictures of peace and of strife

Verse 2:
      G+G
There hang pictures of youth and of beauty
    C majorC             G+G
Of old age and the blushing young bride
     C majorC            G+G
They all hang on the wall but the saddest of all
    D7D7             G+G
Are the pictures from life's other side

Chorus:
G+G
Just a picture from life's other side
  C majorC          G+G
Someone has fell by the way
  G+G
A augmentedA life has gone out with the tide
   A7A7             D7D7
That might have been happy some day

     G+G
There's a poor old mother at home
   C majorC           G+G
She's watching and waiting alone
   C majorC           G+G
Just longing to hear from a loved one so dear
      D7D7            G+G
It's just a picture from life's other side

Verse 3:
      G+G
The first scene is that of a gambler
    C majorC           G+G
Who had lost all his money at play
    C majorC                   G+G
And he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
     A7A7              D7D7
That she wore long ago on her wedding day

Verse 4:
     G+G
It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
    C majorC                  G+G
Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
     C majorC             G+G
But when they lifted his head they found he was dead
       D7D7            G+G
That's just a picture from life's other side

Verse 5:
     G+G
The next tale is that of two brothers
   C majorC            G+G
Who's paths in life different led.
       C majorC                    G+G
For one was a luxury in living, but the other brother begged for his bread
       D7D7
Then one dark night night they met on the highway, your money or life the thief cried
                   G+G
And then with his knife, het took his own brother's life
      D7D7            G+G
It's just a picture from life's other side

Verse 5:
       G+G
Now the last scene is that by the river
   C majorC           G+G
Of a heartbroken mother and babe

As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
   A7A7            D7D7
On an outcast whom no one will save
    G+G
And yet she was once a true woman
    C majorC           G+G
She was somebody's darling and pride
  C majorC                 G+G
God help her she leaps for there's no one to weep
      D7D7            G+G
It's just a picture from life's other side.
