Paint It Black

The Rolling Stones



Fm                     C7

I see a red door and I want it painted black

Fm                   C7

No colors any more I want them to turn black

Fm Eb     Ab                    Fm

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

Fm Eb      Ab      Eb       Bb             C7

I  have to turn my head until the darkness goes



Fm                       C7

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black

Fm                            C7

With flowers and my love both never to come back

Fm  Eb         Ab                   Fm

I   see people turn their heads and quickly look away

Fm     Eb       Ab     E6    Bb                C7

Like a new born baby it just happens every day



Fm                       C7

I look inside myself and see my heart is black

Fm                      C7

I see my red door and I want it painted black

Fm    Eb        Ab            Fm                      

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the fact

Fm       Eb   Ab     Eb      Bb                     C7

It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black



Fm                           C7

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

Fm                            C7

I could not forsee this thing happening to you

Fm  Eb      Ab   Eb     Fm

If   I look hard enough into the setting sun

Fm    Eb        Ab         Eb    Bb               C7

   My love will laugh with me before the morning comes



Fm                     C7

I see a red door and I want it painted black

Fm                   C7

No colors any more I want them to turn black

Fm Eb     Ab                    Fm

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

Fm Eb      Ab      Eb       Bb             C7

I  have to turn my head until the darkness goes

C7                     Fm                   C7

    I want to see your face, painted black, black as night

      Fm                       C7

Don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky

               Fm                                 C7    Fm

I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah

Here it is:
  	
  Dm                       A7
				I see my red door and I want it painted black

  Dm                       A7
				No colors anymore, I want them to turn black

  Dm  C       F        C           Dm
    I see the girls go by, dressed in their summer clothes

  Dm   C       F       C      G               A
					I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

And the rest is the same as that.

If you play along with the recording, you'll notice that this is actually
in the wrong key.  The way the Stones did it used these chords for the
fingering, but was capoed up three frets and tuned down a bit, so instead
of being in D minor it was somewhere between E minor and F minor.  Also, I
may have made some slight mistakes with the lyrics, since I'm doing this
from memory.
