Sweet Painted Lady Chords by Elton John

  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 
 
(REPEAT) 
 
G  F#  F  E7  Am7  D  G  Am7 D
