I'm back on ^Gdry land once again Oppor^Bmtunity awaits me like a rat in the drain We're ^Fall hunting honey with m^Coney to burn Cm G Am Bm|Bbm Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned

V2 If the boys all behave them selves 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 all right V3 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

V4 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 V5 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 G|Bm|F|E7|Am7|Bm|G|Am7|Bm G|Bm|F|E7|Am7|Bm|G|Am7|Bm|G end
