Paint It Black

The Rolling Stones



Dm                     A7

I see a red door and I want it painted black

Dm                   A7

No colors any more I want them to turn black

Dm  C      F                    Dm

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

Dm  C      F       C       G             A7

I  have to turn my head until the darkness goes


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

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I want it painted 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

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If   I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes


I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors 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

A7                     Dm                   A7
    I want to see your face, painted black, black as night
      Dm                       A7
Don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky
               Dm                                 A7    Dm
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah
