Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[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
