[Intro] C D G [Verse 1]
                         D              G
There’s an old and faded picture on the wall

                                  C    G
That has been a hanging there for many years

       C
It’s a picture my mother

      G
For I know there is no other

                           D             G
That can take the place of mother on the wall
[Chorus]
                          C      G
On the wall (on the wall) on the wall (on the wall)

                                        D
How I love that dear old picture on the wall

        G
Time is swiftly passing by

      C
And I bow my head and cry

      G                 D            G
For I know I’ll meet my mother after all
[Instrumental] G D G G C G C G D G [Verse 2]
                          D                  G
Now the children all have scattered all have gone

                           C     G
And I have a little family of my own

      C
And I know I love them well

          G
More than any tongue can tell

                            D              G
But I’ll hold that dear old picture on the wall
[Chorus]
                          C      G
On the wall (on the wall) on the wall (on the wall)

                                        D
How I love that dear old picture on the wall

        G
Time is swiftly passing by

      C
And I bow my head and cry

      G                 D            G
For I know I’ll meet my mother after all
[Verse 3]
                           D             G
Since I lost that dear old mother years ago

                                     C     G
There is none to which with troubles I can go

      C
As my guitar makes its chords

     G
I am praying to the Lord

                          D              G
Let me hold that dear old picture on the wall
[Outro]
                          C      G
On the wall (on the wall) on the wall (on the wall)

                                        D
How I love that dear old picture on the wall

        G
Time is swiftly passing by

      C
And I bow my head and cry

      G                 D            G
For I know I’ll meet my mother after all
