[Verse 1]

                     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                        Am7 D Daug
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

[Verse 2]

           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                  Am7 D Daug
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright

[Verse 3]

            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
                Cm                               G/B                 Am7 D
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

[Chorus]

Daug 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                            F#
Oh sweet painted lady
F                                           E7
Seems it's always been the same
Am7                     D
Getting paid for being laid
G                                            Am7   D G Daug
Guess that's the name of the game, oh

[Verse 4]

                                   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                Am7 D Daug
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

[Verse 5]

             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
                 Cm                              G/B                  Am7 D Daug
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

[Chorus]

      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                     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, oh
