Black Beauty

Intro: F Dm Bb F C 


            F   
I paint my nails black, 

         Dm                     Bb  
I dye my hair a darker shade of brown, 

                     F 
'Cause you like your women, 

               C 
Spanish, dark, strong and proud. 


              F 
You paint the sky black, 

            Dm 
You said if you could have your way, 

             Bb 
You'd make a nighttime world today, 

                 F            C 
So it'd suit the mood of your soul. 



Bb             Dm 
Oh, what can I do? 

Bb                  C 
Nothing my sparrow, blue. 



F    Am        Dm 
Oh, what can I do? 

C       Bb 
Life is beautiful, 

                      Dm        C 
But you don't have a clue. 

F       Am     Dm              
Sun and ocean, blue, 

C    Bb         
That magnificence, 

                       Dm       C 
It don't make sense to you.

            F 
I paint the house black, 

           Dm                  Bb 
My wedding dress black leather too. 

            F 
You have no room for light, 

        C             
Love is lost on you. 


          F 
I keep my lips red, 

             Dm              Bb 
To seem like cherries in the spring. 

             F 
Darling, you can't let everything, 

     C 
Seem so dark blue. 



Bb             Dm 
Oh, what can I do, 

Bb                            C 
To turn you on or get through you?

But you don't have a clue.

Sun and ocean, blue,

It don't make sense to you.
