[G]
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
There's an old [D] unpainted picture [G] on the wall.
It has been hanging there for many years.
[C] It's a picture of my mother [G] and I know there is no other
that can take the [D] place of the mother [G] on the wall.
On the wall, on the wall, on the wall, on the wall.
How I love that dear old picture [D] on the wall.
[G] And it's swiftly passing by and I bow [C] my head in pride
[G] for I know [D] I'll meet my mother [G] after all.
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
Now the children [Bm] all have scattered [G] off and gone
and I have a little family of my own.
[C] And I know I love them well [G] more than any child can tell
but I'll hold that [D] dear old picture [G] on the wall.
On the wall, on the wall, on the wall, on the wall.
How I love that dear old picture [D] on the wall.
[G] And it's swiftly passing by and I bow [C] my head in pride
for [G] I know I'll meet my mother after all.
