[Verse]

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

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

            F
I paint the house black,
           Dm                  
My wedding dress black leather too.
    Bb
You have no room for light,
        F    C        
Love is lost on you.

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

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


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

      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]

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