Written by Elton John/Bernie Taupin
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)
