A Picture From Life's Other Side chords by

N/A
Verse 1
D
A
D
A
D

In the world's mighty

gallery of pictures
G

hangs scenes that
D

are painted from life.
A
D

There's pictures of love and of passion,
E

and there's pictures of
A

peace and of strife.
D

There hang pictures of
A
D

youth and of beauty
Gm

and of old age
G
D

and the blushing young bride.
Gm
G

But the saddest of all,
D
Ebdim
D

they don't hang on the wall.

They're just the pictures
A
D

from life's other side.
A
D

The first scene is that of a gambler
G
Gm
G
D

who had lost all of his money at play
A
D

And he draws his dead mother's ring

from his finger
E
Bm
A

that she wore long ago on
D

her wedding day

It's his last earthly treasure

but he stakes it
G
D

Then he bows his head
G

that in shame he might hide
D

But when they lifted his head
A

they found he was dead
D

That's just a picture from

life's other side
G

Now the last scene is that by the river
D

Of a heartbroken mother and babe

As the harbor light shines and they shiver
E
A
D

On an outcast who no one will save

Now yet she was once a true woman
Gm
G

She was somebody's darling in pride
D

But God help her she leaps
G
D

And there's no one to weep
A

That's just a picture from
D

life's other side

Just a picture from life's other side
G
D

someone has fell by the way

a life that's gone out with the tide
E

that might have been happy someday
A
D

there's a poor old mother
G
D

at home watching and waiting alone.
G

Just longing to hear from
D

a loved one so dear,
A
D

just a picture from life's other side.

  • 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.
