[Verse 1]
G
I paint my nails black,
Em
I dye my hair a darker shade
C
of brown
G
'Cause you like your women Spanish,
D
dark, strong and proud
G
I paint the sky black
Em
You said if you could have your way
C
You'd make a night time of today
G D
So it'd suit the mood of your soul
C Em
Oh, what can I do?
C D
Nothing, my sparrow blue
[Chorus]
G D Em
Oh, what can I do?
C
Life is beautiful but you don't
Em
Have a clue
G D Em
Sun and ocean blue
C
Their magnificence, it don't make
Em
Sense to you
[Post-Chorus]
D C Em
Black beauty, oh oh oh
D C Em
Black beauty, oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
G
I paint the house black
Em
My wedding dress black leather too
C
You have no room for light
G D
Love is lost on you
G
I keep my lips red
Em
The same like cherries in the spring
C
Darling, you can't let everything
G D
Seem so dark blue
[Chorus]
G D Em
Oh, what can I do?
C
Life is beautiful but you don't
Em
Have a clue
G D Em
Sun and ocean blue
C
Their magnificence, it don't make
Em
Sense to you
[Post-Chorus]
D C Em
Black beauty, oh oh oh
D C Em
Black beauty, oh oh oh
[Bridge]
G C
Black beauty, ah ah
G C
Black beauty, ah ah
G C
Black beauty, ah ah ah ah
G
Black beauty, baby
Em
Black beauty, baby
[Chorus]
G D Em
Oh, what can I do?
C
Life is beautiful but you don't
Em
Have a clue
G D Em
Sun and ocean blue
C
Their magnificence, it don't make
Em
Sense to you
[Outro]
D C Em
Black beauty, oh oh oh
D C Em
Black beauty, oh oh oh
