Verse 1
(D major) (G major) When he (D major) first saw the lights of Mobile,
was a (G major) boy of a mere fifteen
(E minor) (A major) Not (G major) yet a man, (E minor)
(G major) though he'd shown signs now and then (D major)
There (G major) he (D major) met a painted lady
She said (G major) she's a dance hall queen (E minor)
But (A major) she's the closest
thing to perfection
This (E minor) coun (A major) try boy had (G major) ever seen
(D major) But painted (A major) lady
(B minor) Why (G major) did you bring (D major) him (G major) down?
(E minor) There's a good (A major) side to every city
(E minor) But you're the bad (G major) side (A major) of this town (D major)
(G major) A (D major) barroom was your castle
You be (G major) came a dance (D major) hall king (E minor)
He (A major) played the fool
(E minor) And learn things (G major) they
don't teach in school (D major) (G major)
Yeah, (D major) she was a painted lady
He was a man (G major) of a mere (D major) sixteen (E minor)
First (A major) one he'd known
(E minor) He fell in love (G major) with the dance (A major) hall queen
(D major) But painted (A major) lady
(B minor) Well, (G major) why did you bring (D major) him (G major) down
(E minor) There's a good (A major) side to every city
(E minor) But you're the bad (G major) side
of (A major) this town (D major) (G major)
Mama (D major) always warned him
Of the (G major) neon light (A major) s (D major) to come
(E minor) My brother (A major) was an old (E minor) man
by the time (G major) he was twenty -one (D major) (G major)
(D major) I (G major) (D major) went down to Moby
to bring him home (G major) to Tu (D major) pelo (E minor)
Where (A major) he died drunk and lonely
(E minor) with no (G major) hope for (A major) his soul
(D major) But Painted (A major) Lady, (B minor)
why (G major) did you bring (D major) him down? (E minor)
There's a good (A major) side to every city, (E minor)
but you're the bad (A major) side (G major) of this town
(D major) But Painted (A major) Lady, (B minor)
why (G major) did you bring (D major) him down?
(E minor) There's a good (A major) side to every city, (E minor)
but you're the bad (A major) side (G major) of
Outro 1
this town.
(D major) (G major) (Dsus4) (D major) (G major) (D major)
