Rolling Stones, Paint It Black (1966)
Key: :[Em] (w: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards)
VERSE 1:
[Em] I see a red door and I
[B] want it paint it black
[Em] no colours any more I
[B] want them to turn black
[Em] I
[D] see the
[G] girls walk
[D] by
Dressed
[Em] in their
[D] summer
[G] clothes
[Em] I
[D] have to
[G] turn my
[D] head
Un-
[Em]-til the
[D] darkness
[G] goes
VERSE 2:
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
VERSE 3:
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I want it paint it black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the fact
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
VERSE 4:
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
VERSE 5:
I see a red door and I want it paint it black
No colours any more I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes, hmm, hmm
OUTRO:
I want to see your face, painted black, black as night, black as gold.
Don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky.
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah
Hmm; hmm
