Capo ~3e fret (en ~Fm)

d e f g f e d d c♯ d  e  b^c♯ d e  d^c♯^b^c♯...  x x x x  x x x x  Dm

Dm                                     w/ sitar
I see a red door
      A
And I want it painted black
Dm
No colors anymore
  A
I want them to turn black

  Dm   C       F          C
     I see the girls walk by
          Dm                           (e f g f e f)
  Dressed in their summer clothes
  Dm   C       F       C
     I have to turn my head
    G               A
  Until my 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 it has been 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              (doux)
Go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee
This thing happening to you

  If I look hard enough                (rembarque)
  Into the setting sun
  My love will laugh with me
  Before the morning comes

Répéter 1er couplet + 1er refrain

Hm hm hm hm...  x 4                    w/ rythme militaire

I wanna see it painted, painted black, black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun - blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah

Ah ah ah ah...  x 8                    ...fade out
