The Painter

                               E
I'd like you to meet my last queen,
       F#            B
Over there large as life,
            E                A
She's been hanging there for almost 
a week,
    F#        B
My poor late wife,

  E
What do think of the colour of her 
skin,
                       A
It has the bloom of a rose,
             E
You see she begged me to bring a 
certain painter in,
              F#                   
And for that picture in her bedroom
            B
 she would pose,

      A
 Well after a while he was driving 
me mad,
E
 As you could well understand,
F#
 Sitting in there, day after day,
          B
 With my wife in the palm of his 
hand,

         E
It was "Madam please do this and 
Madam please do that",
                             B
You've never heard such display,

But he didn't mind he was taking his
 time,
        C       D      E  B
It was me that had to pay,
     E
"Oh Madam I think we should take a 
walk in the woods,
                         B
You understand it's the light",

And did I mind, no, I was so kind 
when they,
      C           D          
Came back in the middle of the 
   E
night,
        C              D        
And I swear I'll take care of the 
   E      A        E      A
painter, oh the painter,

E
 Well as you can see it was hard for
 me,
                         A
But something has to be done,
    E                            
She only has eyes for him and his 
                   F#
lies, and as for me,
                           B
Not a glance, not a single one,
   A
My orders were severe and she 
disappeared,
E
 It really was such a shame,
               F#
And when they told me she was dead I
 broke down and said,
            B
"It's that painter, it's him, he's 
to blame,"

           E
With his "Madam please do this and 
Madam please do that",
                             B
You've never heard such display,

But he didn't mind he was taking his
 time,
        C       D      E  B
It was me that had to pay,
     E
"Oh Madam I think we should take a 
walk in the woods,
                         B
You understand it's the light",

And did I mind, no, I was so kind 
when they,
      C           D          
Came back in the middle of the 
   E
night,
       C             D         
And I hope it's the rope for the 
   E      A
painter,
           C               D      
When he's found, it's hellbound 
     E        A
for the painter,
               E      A
I'll get that painter...
