Verse 1
G

In the world's mighty

gallery of pictures
C

There's scenes that are
G

painted from life

Scenes of youth and of beauty
D

Scenes of hardships and strife
G

Scenes of wealth and of plenty,
C
G

old age and a blushing young bride
C
G

Hang on the wall, but the saddest of all
D
G

is the picture from life's other side

A picture from life's other side
C
G

Somebody has felled by the way,

And a life has gone out with the tide,
D

That might have been happy some day.
G

Some poor mother at home,
C
G

Is watching and waiting alone,
C

Longing to hear from her
G

loved one so dear,
D
G

That's a picture from life's other side.

Now the first scene is one

of two brothers
C
G

Their paths in life differently led

One lived in luxury and riches
D

And the other one begged for his bread
G

One night they met on the highway
C
G

Your money, your life, Sir, one cried
C

Then, with his knife,
G

took his own brother's life
D

That's a picture from
G

life's other side

Now the next scene is down by the river
C
G

A heartbroken mother and babe

In the harbor light glare see them shiver,
D

Outcasts that no one will save.
G

Once she was a true woman,
C
G

Somebody's darling in pride.
C

God help her she leaps,
G

there's no one to weep,
D

That's a picture from life's other side.
G

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

Somebody has fell by the way.

And a life that's gone out with the tide.
D

That might have been happy some day.
G

Some poor mother at home,
C
G

watching and waiting alone.
C
G

Longing to hear from her loved one so dear,

  • 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.
