Here it is:
Dm A7
I see my red door and I want it painted black
Dm A7
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
Dm C F C Dm
I see the girls go by, dressed in their summer clothes
Dm C F C G A
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
And the rest is the same as that.
If you play along with the recording, you’ll notice that this is actually
in the wrong key. The way the Stones did it used these chords for the
fingering, but was capoed up three frets and tuned down a bit, so instead
of being in D minor it was somewhere between E minor and F minor. Also, I
may have made some slight mistakes with the lyrics, since I’m doing this
from memory.
