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

       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            Am  D
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright

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

   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
  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  D7
Oh!

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

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