Elton John - Sweet Painted Lady: chords

            G
I'm back on dry land once again
     Gmaj7
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain
G7                                     C
We're all hunting honey with money to burn
         Cm                         G/B              Am7   D D+
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

If the boys all behave themselves here
Well, there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight
Oh, the prices I charge here will see you alright

So she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

Chorus:
D+    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 D+
Guess that's the name of the game, oh

Forget us, we'll have gone very soon
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds
Where love's just a job and nothing is said

So as she lays down beside me again
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name
Many have used her and many still do
There's a place in the world for a woman like you

Chorus:
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game
Oh, sweet painted lady
Seems it's always been the same
Getting paid for being laid
Guess that's the name of the game
