Paint it Black

Year: 1989 - Album: Hot Rocks 1964-1971 [DSD Remastered]

Written by Keith Richards, Mick Jagger

	  		Dm                     A               A7  
I see a red door and I want it painted black,  
Dm                   A                 A7  
No colors any more I want them to turn black.  
Dm C       F           G         Dm  
I  see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes,  
Dm C       F       G      A                 A7  
I  have to turn my head until the darkness goes.  

Dm                       A                   A7  
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black,  
Dm                            A             A7  
With flowers and my love both never to come back.  
Dm   C          F          G         Dm  
I    see people turn their heads and quickly look away.  
Dm     C        F    G       A             A7  
Like a new born baby it just happens every day.  

Dm                       A               A7  
I look inside myself and see my heart is black,  
Dm                      A               A7  
I see my red door and I want it painted black.  
Dm    C         F    G        Dm  
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the fact,  
Dm   C   F    G      A                    A7  
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.  


Dm                           A             A7  
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue,  
Dm                            A            A7  
I could not forsee this thing happening to you.  
Dm    C    F     G       Dm  
If I look hard enough into the setting sun  
Dm C         F          G    A                A7  
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes.   
   
                   Dm                   A  
I wanna see your face, painted black, black as night, black as coal. 
                    Dm                      A  
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky. 
               Dm                                 A  
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black.
