Painted Desert Serenade

INTRO:

VERSE 1:

He tells her, I want to paint you naked on a big brass bed

with bright orange poppies all around your head.

And she says, Crazy old man, I'm not young anymore.

Dm7 G7sus4 G7

That's all right, he whispers, I've never painted before.

CHORUS:

Do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?

Do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?

You got me talkin' to the moon, you got me walkin' in the rain.

Do you love me, do you love me Lady Jane?

VERSE 2:

I want to read your tea leaves by candle light.

On a fat velvet sofa, I want to be with you all night.

I want to tickle your feet with a peacock plume.

Dm7

And she says, Can you talk a little softer,

G7sus4 G7

there are people in the room.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

And Jane says, my children brought me here

A7

and promised me they'd call.

Dm7 G7sus4 G7

Well you know kids forget that's just the way of it all.

And he says, Well, that makes us both footloose and fancy free,

so Jane do you want to come see the Painted Desert with me?

CHORUS

OUTRO:

Do you love me like I love you?

Do you love me Lady Jane?
