Paint It Black

The Rolling Stones

Music & lyrics Mick Jagger & Keith Richards

Dm I see a red door and I A want it painted black.

Dm No colours anymore, I A want them to turn black.

Dm I C see the F girls walk Cby,

dressed Dm in their summer clothes.

Dm I C have to F turn my Chead

unC til my darkness Agoes.

Dm I see a line of cars and A they’re all painted black.

Dm With flowers and my love

both A never to come back.

Dm I C see people F turn their C heads

and Dm quickly look away.

Dm Like a C newborn F baby,

C it just C happens every Aday.

Dm I look inside myself and A see my heart is black.

Dm I see my red door

and I must A have it painted black.

Dm Maybe C then I’ll F fade aCway

and Dm not have to face the facts.

Dm It’s not C easy F facing Cup

when C your whole world is A black.

Dm No more will my green sea go A turn a deeper blue.

Dm I could not forsee this thing A happening to you.

Dm If C I look F hard Cenough

Dm into the setting sun,

Dm my C love will F laugh with Cme

beC fore the morning A comes.

Dm I see a red door and I A want it painted black.

Dm No colours anymore I A want them to turn black.

Dm I C see the F girls walk Cby

dressed Dm in their summer clothes.

Dm I C have to F turn my Chead

unC til my darkness Agoes.
