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.
