Intro: D Bm G D A

            D  
I paint my nails black,
         Bm                     G 
I dye my hair a darker shade of brown,
                     D
'Cause you like your women,
               A
Spanish, dark, strong and proud.


              D
You paint the sky black,
            Bm
You said if you could have your way,
             G
You'd make a nighttime world today,
                 D            A
So it'd suit the mood of your soul.


G             Bm
Oh, what can I do?
G                  A
Nothing my sparrow, blue.


D    Gbm        Bm
Oh, what can I do?
A       G
Life is beautiful,
                      Bm        A
But you don't have a clue.
D       Gbm     Bm             
Sun and ocean, blue,
A    G        
That magnificence,
                       Bm       A
It don't make sense to you.
         G         Bm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh,
A       G          Bm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.


            D
I paint the house black,
           Bm                  G
My wedding dress black leather too.
            D
You have no room for light,
        A            
Love is lost on you.


          D
I keep my lips red,
             Bm              G
To seem like cherries in the spring.
             D
Darling, you can't let everything,
     A
Seem so dark blue.


G             Bm
Oh, what can I do,
G                            A
To turn you on or get through you?


D    Gbm        Bm
Oh, what can I do?

Life is beautiful,
                     Bm         A
But you don't have a clue.

A       G          Bm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.

      D             Bm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh.
      D             Bm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,

Black beauty, baby, black beauty, baby.
