Song:  Paint it Black
By:    The Rollin Stones

[intro:]  {guitar riff only}  {8 hits on the snare then band comes in on 9th }

[verse:1]  {riff over first two lines of each verse}
Em                        B
  I see a red door and I want it painted black
Em                       B  
  No colours anymore I want them to turn black
Em  D       G          D              Em
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
Em  D       G        D     A                 B
  I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes

[verse:2]
Em                            B     
  I see a line of cars and they're all painted black.
Em                              B
  With flowers and by love both never to come back
Em  D           G          D          Em
  I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Em       D        G    D       A              B 
  Like a new born baby it just happens every day

[verse:3]
Em                          B
  I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Em                          B
  I see my red door and I want it painted black
Em        D        G     D       Em
  Maybe then I'll fade a-way and not have to face the facts
Em         D     G     D       A                    B
  It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

[verse:4] {guitar riff and percussions only for first two lines of verse}
Em                              B
  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
Em                              B
  I could not forsee this thing happening to you

{band joins in}
Em     D    G      D         Em
  If I look hard e-nough in-to the setting sun
Em   D          G         D     A                B
  My love will laugh with me be-fore the morning comes
 
[verse:5]  {same as verse:1}
Em                        B
  I see a red door and I want it painted black
Em                      B  
  No colours anymore I want them to turn black
Em  D       G          D           Em
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
Em  D       G        D       A              B
  I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes

[coda:]
Em                     B
  Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm Hm hmmm...  (do at least 4 times; finish on Em)
