I'm back [G] on dry land once again
[Bm] Opportunity awaits me like a rat in a [F] drain
We're all hunting honey with [C] money to burn
[Cm] Just a short time to show [G] you the tricks that we [Am] learn
[Bm]
[D] [G] If the boys all behave themselves here
Well there's a pretty young [Bm] lady some beer in the [F] rear
You won't need a girl up to [C] sleep in tonight
Oh [Cm] the price is a [G] charge here we'll see you [Am] all right
[Bm] So [D] [G] she lays down beside me again
A sweet painted lady the woman her [F] name
Many have used her many [C] still do
[Cm] There's a place in [G] the world for a woman [Am] like you
[D]
[G] Oh sweet painted [F#] lady [F] seems it's always [E] been the same
[Am] Getting [D] paid for being [G] lame yes that's the [Am] name of the [D] game
[G] Oh sweet [F#] painted lady [F] seems it's always [E] been the [Am] same
Getting paid [D] for being [G] lame yes that's the [Am] name of the [D] game
[G] [D] Forget [G] it you'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
[F] And we'll leave the smell of the sea in [C] your bed
[Cm] Well it was just a [G] job and nothing in [Am] return
[D] So [G] she lays down beside me again
A sweet painted lady the woman her name
[Dm] Many have used her many [C] still do
[Cm] There's a place in the [G] world for a woman like [Am] you
[D]
[G] Oh sweet [F#] painted lady [F]
seems it's always [E] been the same
[Am] Getting [D] paid for being [G] lame yes that's the [Am] name of the [D] game
[G] Oh sweet [F#] painted lady [F] seems it's always [E] been the same
[Am] Getting paid [D] for being lame [G] yes that's the name [Am] of the [Bm] game
