Well it was a small room, about ten by nine
C F Am
Paintbrushes and canvas, a jar of turpentine
C F C G
He'd be there in the morning, when the light was fresh
C F F Am
The only time he turn his back on her, was when she would undress
C F C G
Her name was Judy, Judy out to lunch
C F Am
Her boyfriend was Frankie, she called him Punch
C F C G
He said let's take a break now, my old legs are stiff
C F Am
He saw her bruises in the mirror, he said that bastard will you look at this
C F C G
She said Frankie's a good guy, he just drinks too much wine
C F Am
The old painter said you can tell me about it, some other time
C F C G
But I'd like to meet him, this boy friend of yours
C F
Why don't you tell him to come by on Fridfay night,
Am
After he closes his store

Now Judy came back on Monday, and the door was locked
C F Am
When the landlady opened it, even the cops where shocked
C F C G
Punch he lay in a pool of blood, throat slit ear to ear
C F Am
The old painter was dead as well, his painter knife was near
C F C G
The cop said one man was murdered, the others heart gave out
C F
But whoever painted this portait of you Judy,
Am
Of his love there is no doubt
C F C G
Well it was a small room, about ten by nine
C F Am Am
Paintbrushes and canvas, a jar of turpentine
