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