[d] in the world's mighty gallery of pictures
37
Hang the [g] scenes that are painted from life [d]
2c
There's pictures of love and of passion
3b
Then there's [e7] pictures of peace and of [a7] strife
33
There hang [d] pictures of youth and of beauty
34
Of old [g] age and the blushing young [d] bride
3f
They all [g] hang on the wall - but the [d] saddest of all
36
Are the [a7] pictures from life's other [d] side.

2e
[d] just a picture from life's other side
29
Some-[g] one has fell by the way [d]
26
A life has gone out with the tide
32
That [e7] might have been happy some [a7] day
2a
There's a [d] poor old mother at home
2e
She's [g] watching and waiting a-[d] lone
3c
Just [g] longing to hear - from a [d] loved one so dear
39
It's just a [a7] picture from life's other [d] side.

The first scene is that of a gambler
27
Who had lost all his money at play
38
An' he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
2e
That she wore long ago on her wedding day
35
It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it
35
Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
3c
But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead
32
That's just a picture from life's other side.

2c
Now the last scene is that by the river
26
Of a heart-broken mother and babe
2f
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
28
On an outcast whom no one will save
27
And yet, she was once a true woman
29
She was somebody's darlin' and pride
39
God help her, she leaps - for there's no one to weep
30
It's just a picture from life's other side.

Extra verse:
29
The next was a scene of two brothers
28
Whose pathways so diff'rent had led
25
One lived the life of a rich man
27
The other one begged for his bread
2b
Then one night they met on the highway
34
"your money or life", the thief cried
3a
And then with his knife - took his own brother's life
30
It's just a picture from life's other side.
