Guitar I (acoustic) plays the C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G A minorAm progression throughout the entire song
Her wavy golden hair across her back
It lay atop the chest she didn't lack
The rest of her was honestly exposed
Oh, the lady simply wasn't wearing clothes
The Painting of the Naked Lady there
I had to look and constantly I'd stare
The Lady in the Nude she caught my eye
And I'd sit for hours and hours wondering why
I'd sit for hours and hours wondering why
The Lady in the Painting there you see
is confronted by Cupid and his wings
A augmentedA nervous smirk is plastered on her face
Her arms thrust out to claim her rightful space
The lady sits down to hesitate
Not wanting Cupid's bow to go to waste
Without a lover this lady is free
Of her garments and of vulnerability
The Painting of the Naked Lady there
I had to look and constantly I'd stare
The Lady in the Nude she caught my eye
And I'd sit for hours and hours wondering why
I'd sit for hours and hours wondering why
She resists the way her heart is leading her
To love is all she's wanted forever more
But she fears Cupid and what she cannot control
Oh the painting is a picture of my soul
The painting reflects my inner soul
So please, my love, don't let me push you away
