Sweet painted lady

  G 
I'm back on dry land once again 
 
     Gmaj7 
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain 
 
Dm    G7     C 
We're all hunting honey with money to burn 
 
       Cm     G\B             Am  D 
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned 
 
 
       G 
If the boys all behave themselves here 
 
      Gmaj7 
Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear 
 
Dm   G7      C 
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight 
 
       Cm    G\B  Am  D 
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright 
 
 
       G 
So she lays down beside me again 
 
   Gmaj7 
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name 
 
Dm         G7      C 
Many have used her and many still do 
 
   C      G\B    Am  D 
There's a place in the world for a woman like you 
 
 
   G    F# 
Oh sweet painted lady 
 
F      E7 
Seems it's always been the same 
 
Am7   D 
Getting paid for being laid 
 
G        Am7 
Guess that's the name of the game 
 
  G    F# 
Oh sweet painted lady 
 
F      E7 
Seems it's always been the same 
 
Am7   D 
Getting paid for being laid 
 
G        Am7 D 
Guess that's the name of the game 
 
 G  D7 
Oh! 
 
 
       G 
Forget us we'll have gone very soon 
 
 Gmaj7 
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms 
 
    Dm     G7          C 
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds 
 
      Cm      G\B     Am  D 
Where love's just a job and nothing is said 
 
 
       G 
So she lays down beside me again 
 
   Gmaj7 
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name 
 
Dm         G7      C 
Many have used her and many still do 
 
   C      G\B    Am  D 
There's a place in the world for a woman like you
