Painted, Tainted, Rose:Al Martino.
#15 in '63.
#1.
She was a wild and lovely rose.
D7 Bbdim. D7 G Ddim. D7
Oh, how I loved her, heav...en knows.
But though my heart was true, it would never do,
D7 G Ddim. D7
Party life was what she chose.
#2.
Last night I saw my lovely rose.
All painted up in fan...cy clothes.
Her eyes had lost their spark, the years
had left their mark,
She's just a paint..ed, taint..ed rose.
#3.
But though my heart was true, it would never do,
D7 G Ddim. D7
Party life was what she chose.
Her eyes had lost their spark, the years
had left their mark. She's just a painted, tainted, rose.
REPEAT#3.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
