A Picture From Life's Other Side chords by

N/A
Verse 1
G
D
G
D
G

In the world's mighty
D
G

gallery of pictures
C

Hang the scenes that are
G

painted from life
D
G

There's a picture of love and of passion
A

And there hangs a picture
D

of peace and of
G

There hang pictures of youth and of beauty
C
G

Of old age and the blushing young bride
C

They all hang on the wall,
G

but the saddest of all
D
G

Are the pictures from the life's other side
D
G

Just a picture from life's other side
C
G
D

Someone has felled by the way
G

Life has blown out with the tide
A

Or that might have been
D

happy some day
G

There's a poor old mother at home
C
G

She's watchin' and waitin' alone
C

Just a longing to hear from
G

a loved one so dear
D

It's just a picture from
G
D
G

life's other side
D
G

Now the first scene is that of a gambler
C
G

who had lost all of his money in a play
D
G

and then he draws his
D

dead mother's ring
G
A

from his finger that she had wore long ago
D

on her wedding day.
G

Oh, it was his last earthly treasure,

but he stakes it.
C

And then he bows his head
G

that his shame he might hide.
C

Oh, but when they lifted his head,
G

they found he was dead.
D

That's just a picture from
G

life's other side.

Now the last scene is
C

that down by the river
G

Of a heartbroken mother and baby

And as the harbor lights

shine and they shiver
A
D

On an outcast whom no one will save
G

And yet, she was once a true woman,
C
G

she was somebody's darling pride.
C

God help her if she leaps,
G

for there's no one to weep,
D
G

it's just a picture from life's of a child

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
