The verses may be in the wrong order but it's all pretty much the same:
D D In the world's mighty gallery of pictures G D There're scenes that are painted from life, D D Scenes of youth and of beauty, A7 A7 Scenes of hardship and strife, D D Scenes of wealth and of plenty, G D Old age and the blushing young bride, G D They hang on the wall - but the saddest of all A7 D Are the pictures from life's other side. D D A picture from life's other side G D Someone has fell by the way D D And a life has gone out with the tide A7 A7 That might have been happy someday D D Some poor mother at home G D Is watching and a-waiting alone G D Longing to hear - from her loved one so dear A7 D That's a picture from life's other side. D D Now the first scene is one of two brothers G D Their paths them both diff'rently led D D One lived in luxury and riches A7 A7 And the other one begged for his bread D D One night they met on the highway G D "Your money or life, sir", one cried G D And then with his knife - took his own brother's life A7 D That's a picture from life's other side. D D The next scene is that of a gambler G D Who had lost all his money at play D D An' he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger A7 A7 That she wore long ago on her wedding day D D It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it G D Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide G D But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead A7 D That's a picture from life's other side. D D A picture from life's other side G D Someone has fell by the way D D And a life has gone out with the tide A7 A7 That might have been happy someday D D Some poor mother at home G D Is watching and a-waiting alone G D Longing to hear - from her loved one so dear A7 D That's a picture from life's other side. D D Now the last scene is down by the river G D Of a heart-broken mother and babe D D In the harbor light glare see them shiver A7 A7 Outcasts that no one will save D D Once she was once a true woman G D Somebody's darlin' and pride G D God help her, she leaps - for there's no one to weep A7 D That's a picture from life's other side. D D A picture from life's other side G D Someone has fell by the way D D And a life has gone out with the tide A7 A7 That might have been happy someday D D Some poor mother at home G D Is watching and a-waiting alone G D Longing to hear - from her loved one so dear A7 D That's a picture from life's other side.
