Paint It Black [Am] 
Rolling Stones

[Intro]
[Am] Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm [E7] mm mm mm mm mm mm x2

[Verse 1]
[Am] I see a red door and I [E7] want it painted black,
[Am] No colours anymore, I [E7] want them to turn black.
[Am] I [G] see the [C] girls walk [G] by dressed [Am] in their funeral clothes, 
I [G] have to [C] turn my [G] head un-[D]-til my darkness [E7] goes.

[Verse 2]
[Am] I see a line of cars and [E7] they are painted black,
[Am] With flowers and my love both [E7] never to come back
[Am] I [G] see [C] people [G] turn their [Am] heads and look away 
Like a [G] new born [C] baby [G] it just [D] happens every [E7] day.

[Verse3]
[Am] I look inside myself and [E7] see my heart is black.
[Am] I see my red door and it's [E7] heading into black.
[Am] Maybe [G] then I'll [C] fade a-[G]-way and [Am] not have to face the facts 
It's not [G] easy [C] facing [G] up when [D] your whole world is [E7] black.

|[Chorus]
|I wanna’ see it [Am] painted, painted, painted... painted [E7] black, 
|I wanna’ see it [Am] painted, painted, painted... painted [E7] black,

[Verse4 - {blue}Single Strum{/blue}]
[Am*] No more will my green sea go [E7*] turn a deeper blue,
[Am*] I could not foresee this thing [E7*] happening to you.....[{blue}2-3-4{/blue}]
[{blue}Normal Strum{/blue}] [Am] If I [G] look [C] hard [G] enough in-[Am]-to the setting sun,
My [G] love will [C] laugh with [G] me [D] before the [E7] morning comes

[Am] Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm [E7] mm mm mm mm mm mm x4

I wanna’ see it [Am] painted, painted, painted... painted [E7] black, 
I wanna’ see it [Am] painted, painted, painted... painted [E7] black, 
I wanna’ see it [Am] painted, painted, painted... painted [E7] black, 
I wanna’ see it [Am] painted, painted, painted... painted [E7] black,

[Am*]
