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 (REPEAT) G F# F E7 Am7 D G Am7 D G F# F E7 Am7 D G Am7 D G
