For the first two lines of every verse where the chords are (), play the Primary Riff
Also, it has been pointed out that when you play the riff, you should quickly strike the
string after each note. If you are new and this or simply don't like the sound, though,
worry about it.

[Verse 1]
(
I see a red
(
door and I wan
t it painted b
lack.
(
No colours a
(
nymore I want
them to turn b
lack.
I see the gi
rls walk by dr
essed in their
summer clothe
s.
I have to tu
rn my head un-
til my darknes
s goes.
[Verse 2]
(
I see a line
of cars and t
(
hey're all pai
nted black.
(
With flowers
and by love b
(
oth never to c
ome back.
I see people
turn their he
ads and quickl
y look away.
Like a new b
orn baby it ju
st happens eve
ry day.
Verse 3
(
I look insid
e myself and s
(
ee my heart is
black.
(
I see my red
door and I wa
(
nt it painted
black.
Maybe then I
'll fade a-way
and not have
to face the fa
cts.
It's not eas
y facing up wh
en your whole
world is black
.
[Verse 4] (softer for first two lines)
(
No more will
my green sea
(
go turn a deep
er blue.
(
I could not
forsee this th
(
ing happening
to you.
If I look ha
rd e-nough in-
to the setting
sun
My love will
laugh with me
be-fore the m
orning comes.
[Verse 5]
(
I see a red
(
door and I wan
t it painted b
lack.
(
No colours a
(
nymore I want
them to turn b
lack.
I see the gi
rls walk by dr
essed in their
summer clothe
s.
I have to tu
rn my head un-
til my darknes
s goes.
