Sweet Painted Lady

            G
I'm back on dry land once again
     Gmaj7
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
Dm/G                         G7       C
We're all hunting honey with money to burn
       Cm                         G                  Am   D6
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

If the boys all behave themselves here
Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright

So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

D+  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
D    G    D6
Oh

Forget us we'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said
