The Painter Chris de Burgh
I'd like you to meet my last queen,[E]
Over th[F#]ere large as l[B]ife,
She's been h[E]anging there for [A]almost a week,
My p[F#]oor late w[B]ife,
Wh[E]at do think of the colour of her skin,
It has the bloom of a r[A]ose,
You see she b[E]egged me to bring a certain painter in,
And for that p[F#]icture in her bedroom she would p[B]ose,
Well [A]after a while he was driving me mad,
[E] As you could well understand,
[F#] Sitting in there, day after day,
With my w[B]ife in the palm of his hand,
It was "M[E]adam please do this and Madam please do that",
You've never heard such displ[B]ay,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
It was m[C]e that h[D]ad to p[E]ay,[B]
"Oh M[E]adam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
You understand it's the l[B]ight",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,
Came b[C]ack in the m[D]iddle of the n[E]ight,
And I sw[C]ear I'll take c[D]are of the p[E]ainter,[A] oh the p[E]ainter,[A]
[E] Well as you can see it was hard for me,
But something has to be d[A]one,
She [E]only has eyes for him and his lies, and as for m[F#]e,
Not a glance, not a single [B]one,
My [A]orders were severe and she disappeared,
[E] It really was such a shame,
And when they t[F#]old me she was dead I broke down and said,
"It's that p[B]ainter, it's him, he's to blame,"
With his "M[E]adam please do this and Madam please do that",
You've never heard such displ[B]ay,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
It was m[C]e that h[D]ad to p[E]ay,[B]
"Oh M[E]adam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
You understand it's the l[B]ight",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,
Came b[C]ack in the m[D]iddle of the n[E]ight,
And I h[C]ope it's the r[D]ope for the p[E]ainter,[A]
When he's f[C]ound, it's hellb[D]ound for the[E] painter,[A]
I'll get that p[E]ainter.[A]..
