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.
