(D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) I'd like you to meet
(C major) (D major) my last queen,
Over there large as life (G major)
She's been (D major) hanging there
for almost a week,
My poor (E major) late (A major) (D major) wife;

Verse 2
What do think of the color of her skin,
It has the bloom of a rose,
(G major) You see she begged (D major) me to bring
a certain (D minor) (D major) painter in,
And for that pic (E major) ture in her
bedroom she would (A major) pose;
Verse 3
Well (G major) after a while he was
driving me mad, (D major)
As you could well understand,
(E major) Sitting in there, day after day,
With my wife (A major) in the palm of his hand
(D major) It was (A major)
Verse 4
(D major) "Madam (D minor) please do this and
(D major) Madam please do that",
You've never heard such dis (A major) play,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
It was me (B flat major) that (C major) had to pay, (D major)
(A major) "Oh Madam (D major) I think we (D minor) should
take a walk (D major) in the woods,
You understand it's the light", (A major)
And did I mind, no,
I was so kind when they,
Came (B flat major) back in the middle (C major) of the night, (D major)
And I swear (B flat major) I'll take care (C major) of the (D major) painter,
(G major) oh the (D minor) paint (D major) er
(G major)
Verse 5
(D major) Well as you can see (D minor) it was hard for me,
(D major) But something has to be done, (G major)
She (D minor) only has eyes for him and his lies,
and as for me, (E major)
Not a glance, not a single (A major) one;
My (G major) orders were severe and she disappeared,
(D major) It really was such a (D minor) shame, (D major)
And when they (E major) told me she was
dead I broke down and said,
"It's that paint (A major) er, it's him,
he's to blame."
Verse 6
With his (D major) "Madam please do this and
Madam please do that",
You've never heard such dis (A major) play,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
It was me (B flat major) that (C major) had to pay, (D major) (A major)
"Oh Madam (D major) I think we should
take (D minor) a walk in (D major) the woods,
You understand it's the light", (A major)
And did I mind, no,
I was so kind when they
Came (B flat major) back in the middle (C major) of the night, (D major)
And I (B flat major) hope it's the rope (C major)
for the painter, (D major) (G major)
When he's found, (B flat major)
it's hell bound (C major) for the (D major) painter, (G major)
I'll get that paint (D major) er
