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.

Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh,

C       Bb          Dm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.



            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?

Oh, what can I do?

Life is beautiful,

                     Dm         C
But you don't have a clue.

It don't make sense to you.

Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.
