            Pictures From Life's Other Side - Hank Williams

[Intro]
D7 G

[Verse 1]
G
In the world's mighty gallery of  pictures
         C                            G
Hang the scenes that are painted from life
                                G
There's pictures of love and of passion
             A7                         D7
Then there's pictures of peace and of strife

[Verse 2]
           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

[Chorus]
G
Just a picture from life's other side
    C                   G
Someone has fell by the way
   G
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
She's watching and waiting alone
     C                      G
Just longing to hear from a 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
       C                                     G
And he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
         A7                           D7
That she wore long ago on her wedding day

[Verse 4]
         G
It's his last earthly treasure but he stakes it
        C                                   G
Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
         C                         G
But when they lifted his head they found he was dead
              D7                        G
That's just a picture from life's other side

[Verse 5]
         G
The next tale is that of two brothers
      C                       G
Who's paths in life different led.
              C                                       G
For one was a luxury in living, but the other brother begged for his bread
              D7
Then one dark night night they met on the highway, your money or life the thief cried
                                      G
And then with his knife, het took his own brother's life
            D7                        G
It's 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 for there's no one to weep
            D7                        G
It's just a picture from life's other side.
