Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
By a blackened wood stove
C 
G 
in a run -down old bunkhouse
D 
Sat an old buckaroo with his hat in his hand
C 
G 
He lured his voice as he told us about them,
the wild western women
D 
G 
that wore no man's brand
He remembered how they'd
C 
G 
drive you plum crazy,
dancing for nickels
D 
beneath the barroom's lights
C 
we'd come off the trail
G 
they'd be waiting for us
pretty painted ladies
D 
G 
and dresses so bright
C 
G 
where are all the pretty
painted ladies
D 
G 
where's all my dancehall gals
C 
Where are you living?
G 
Em 
Are you still young and pretty?
G 
And waiting for me
D 
G 
at the end of my trail?
Slowly they'd swirl with
C 
G 
the ranchers and wranglers
D 
while the piano played on into the night
C 
Just a kick in the skirts
G 
past the lonely rawhiders
Pretty -painted ladies,
D 
G 
C 
I miss you tonight
G 
C 
I told the old -timer
G 
they moved off
a long time ago
C 
G 
Ain't no more pretty little old man,
D 
C 
no buffalo style
G 
He said, son, some nights I can see him
Just a -singin' and a -dancin'
D 
G 
at the end of my trail
C 
G 
Oh, where are all the pretty
painted ladies?
D 
G 
Where's all my dancehall gals?
C 
While you live,
G 
Em 
are you still young and pretty
G 
Just waiting for me
D 
G 
at the end of my trail
