Key: Gb major
Verse 1
A picture from life's other side.
F#
I was riding with Woody in his car one day
along on the Belt Parkway
there in that old Plymouth,
Woody was just driving along
with his kind of head throwed back in a reflective tilt,
squinting down his nose
that the whatever traffic
might have been ahead of us there on the
road
and kind of keeping her on the road
the great Cisco Houston.
I'd heard a lot of stories about
him
from Woody and Marjorie.
Cisco was riding in the backseat
I was riding shotgun
and Woody's telling a story
F#
G#
and then they decided to sing this song
a picture from life's other
side.
And Cisco leaned forward from
the back seat
so he could get closer to Woody
and sing right in his ear
and I was there just inches away hearing them
that song sung
and I remembered it for years later
as a memory of this wonderful
tune and melody,
G#
F#
only I never learned it
and I never got all word
G#
F#
s until just now.

So here we go.

Scenes of hardship and strife

old age and a blushing young bride

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

is a picture from life's other side
B
F#
A picture from life's other side,
B
F#
somebody has fell by the way
B
F#
And a life that's gone out with the tide
G#
C#
That might have been happy some day
F#
B
F#
Some poor mother at home
B
F#
Watching and waiting alone
G#
C#
F#
That's a picture from life's other side
B
F#
Their paths of life differently led
One lives in luxury and riches
G#
C#
And the other one begs for his bread
F#
B
F#
One night they met on the highway
B
F#
Your money, your life, sir, one cry

Now the next scene is down by the river,

Out casts that no one will save.

Well, once she was a true woman

Somebody's darlin' in pride

Somebody has fell by the way
B

And life has gone out with the tide,
