Sometimes, I inadvertantly repeat myself...

"Paint It Black"
(As sung by The Rolling Stones)

[Fm]I see a red door and I [C7]want it painted black
[Fm]No colours anymore I [C7]want them to turn black
[Fm]I [Eb]see the [Ab]girls walk by dressed [Fm]in their summer clothes
I [Eb]have to [Ab]turn my h[Eb]ead un[Bb]til my darkness goes

[Fm]I see a line of cars and [C7]they're all painted black
[Fm]With flowers and my love both [C7]never to come back
[Fm]I see [Eb]people [Ab]turn their heads and [Fm]quickly look away
Like a [Eb]new born [Ab]baby [Eb]it just [Bb]happens every day

[Fm]I look inside myself and [C7]see my heart is black
[Fm]I see my red door and I [C7]want it painted black
[Fm]Maybe [Eb]then I'll [Ab]fade away and [Fm]not have to face the facts
It's not [Eb]easy [Ab]facing [Eb]up when [Bb]your whole world is black

[Fm]No more will my green sea go [C7]turn a deeper blue
[Fm]I could not foresee this thing [C7]happening to you
[Fm] If [Eb]I look [Ab]hard en[Eb]ough in[Fm]to the setting sun
My [Eb]love will [Ab]laugh with [Eb]me be[Bb]fore the morning [C7]comes

I wanna see your [Fm]face painted black, [C7]black as night
I [Fm]wanna see the sun blotted [C7]out from the sky
I wanna see it [Fm]painted, painted, painted, painted bl[C7]ack, [Fm]yeah

Betcha that Yankee guitarist knows this tune...

"More Than A Feeling"
(To be sung to Boston)

{define: D/F# base-fret 1 frets 2 0 0 2 3 2}

{c:intro}
[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Csus9] [G/B] [G]

I [D]woke up this [Dsus4]morni[D]ng and the[Csus9] sun was [G/B]gone, [G]
Turned on some music to start my day,
And lost myself in a familiar song.
I close my eyes and I [C9]slip away... [G/B] [Am] [Em/G] [D]

{c:chorus}
It's [G]more than a [C]feeling [Em](more than a feeli[D]ng)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Till I [G]see Marianne [C]walk a-[Eb]way,
[Em7]I see m[Asus4]y Maria[A]nne [A2]walk[A]ing away.
{eoc}
[G] [D/F#] [Em7] [D]
So many people have come and gone,
Their faces fade as the years go by;
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun
In the summer sky.

{c:chorus}
[Bm] [A] [G] [D/F#]Hey! [Asus4] [A]

{c:solo}
A | D G/D G | D/F# A | D G/D G | D/F# A | D G | Bm A | D G/D Bm G/D |
Em G/D Asus4 A | G |

When I'm tired and thinking cold,
I hide in my music, forget the day and
Dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slips away[G/B]. [Csus2] [A]
[Dsus2] [Dsus4]She [D]slipped [Csus2] [G/B] [D] [Dsus4]away [Csus2] [G/B] [G] [D] [Dsus4] [Csus2] [G/B] [D] [Dsus4] [Csus2] [G/B]
[Am] [Em/G] [D]
{c:chorus}
