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                   Am7   D   Daug
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

[Verse 2]

       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           Am7   D   Daug
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright

[Verse 3]

       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
          Cm                       G/B           Am7   D
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

[Chorus]

Daug   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               F#
Oh sweet painted lady
F                          E7
Seems it's always been the same
Am7              D
Getting paid for being laid
G                            Am7   D   G   Daug
Guess that's the name of the game, oh

[Verse 4]

                     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              Am7   D   Daug
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

[Verse 5]

       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
          Cm                       G/B           Am7   D   Daug
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

[Chorus]

   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             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, oh

G     F#   F   E7
Am7   D    G   Am7   D
G     F#   F   E7
Am7   D    G   Am7   D   G
