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