            F
I paint my nails black,
         Dm                      A#
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,
             A#
You'd make a nighttime world today,
                  F            C
So it'd suit the mood of your soul.

A#             Dm
Oh, what can I do?
A#                    C
Nothing my sparrow, blue.

Chorus:
F        Am    Dm
Oh, what can I do?
 C       A#
Life is beautiful,
                      Dm   C
But you don't have a clue.
 F      Am      Dm
Sun and ocean, blue,
  C      A#
That magnificence,
                        Dm C
It don't make sense to you.
         A#         Dm    C
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.
         A#         Dm    C
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.

I paint the house black
My wedding dress black leather too
You have no room for light
Love is lost on you

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

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

Chorus

       F            Dm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh,
       F            Dm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh.
       F            Dm
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
       F                   Dm
Black beauty, baby, black beauty, baby.

Chorus

Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.
Black beauty, oh-oh-oh-oh.
