Verse 1:

             C                               Em
He tells her, I want to paint you naked on a big brass bed
Am7                             F
with bright orange poppies all around your head.
              C         F            C        F
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:

C                   F          C
Do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
       C            F          Gsus4  G
Do you love me Lady Jane, Lady Jane?
           C              Em               Am7            F
You got me talkin' to the moon, you got me walkin' in the rain.
       C               F            C     (Gsus4 G)
Do you love me, do you love me Lady Jane?

Verse 2:

C                                 Em
I want to read your tea leaves by candle light.
     Am7                        F
On a fat velvet sofa, I want to be with you all night.
          C           F           F       C
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:

             Bb6
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.
            C                    Em                 Am7   F
And he says, Well, that makes us both footloose and fancy free,
   Dm7                                      Dm7/G
so Jane do you want to come see the Painted Desert with me?

(Chorus)

Outro:

       F              C
Do you love me like I love you?
       F            C
Do you love me Lady Jane?
