F6a9 Ca9
Gonna have a pretty painted lady by my side
F6a9 Ca9 G / G /
Talkin ^?bout a pretty painted lady by my side
Now I ll tell that woman how it used to be
when the west was wild and the land was free
How a western word would travel for a country mile
Then one day when the drugstores came
and forced my hand to play a truckin game
Wishin to be a cowboy all the while
/
Yes, I was wishin to be a cowboy all the while
- / - /
Painted Lady tell me of the past gone by
/ /
Hold me like the open range and ride me high
- / - /
/
Take me to the days when your dress was made of calico or gingham
C / A- / F6a9 / / /
And a man was a man....
/ /
Painted Lady with your painted face
Tell me bout your life in this painted place
Tell me with your lovin lips and lovin eyes
I can feel the pain, I can see the fears
on the painted cheeks that hide the tears
Of a lovely lonesome cowgirl in disguise
Talkin bout a lovely lonesome cowgirl in disguise
Chorus
