HANK WILLIAMS A PICTURE FROM LIFE'S OTHER SIDE LYRICS

Recorded by hank williams, sr.
Arranged by hank williams, sr.

Capo: 2nd fret/key: e/play: d
[d] in the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the [g] scenes that are painted from life [d]
There's pictures of love and of passion
Then there's [e7] pictures of peace and of [a7] strife
There hang [d] pictures of youth and of beauty
Of old [g] age and the blushing young [d] bride
They all [g] hang on the wall - but the [d] saddest of all
Are the [a7] pictures from life's other [d] side.

[d] just A Picture From Life's Other Side
Some-[g] one has fell by the way [d]
A life has gone out with the tide
That [e7] might have been happy some [a7] day
There's a [d] poor old mother at home
She's [g] watching and waiting a-[d] lone
Just [g] longing to hear - from a [d] loved one so dear
It's just a [a7] picture from life's other [d] 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
[ A Picture From Life's Other Side lyrics from http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/ ]
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.
