Painted Ladies (Ian Thomas Band)
(chorded by Joe Pezzola)
There are three chords in this song, Em - Am - D ,and its
for a beginner to play through with confidence.
(The electric keyboard at the beginning doesn't sound good on acoustic guitar. I just
up at the rhythm section and go from there)(This corrects the chord progression in the
and adds the missing chord for line three of the main verses)
Em
I remember setting out just to see what I could see
Streetcars rolling by and airplanes flying high they all meant nothing to me
Am
No one ever looked my way or knew that I was there
Em
I kept walking and the rain kept raining until all the streets were bare
--
Em..D....Em......D
Ooh ooh, feeling fine mama
Em......D............Em........D
Painted ladies and a bottle of wine mama
Am..D....Am......D
Ooh ooh, feeling good mama
Em...........D............Em........D
They took my money like I knew they would

Em
City lights were shining on me through my window pane
I kept thinking 'bout the day when I'd be home again
Am
Rocking chairs and summer fairs and swimming in the sea
Em
I kept drinking, sinking, till there was nothing left of me
