Chords with lyrics
Tuning - half-step down
E minorEm
Take a look at my life, all black
G+G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C majorC
Like Johnny Cash, all black
D MajorD
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
E minorEm
Like the night that we met, all black
G+G
Like the color of your dress, all black
C majorC
Like the seats in my Cadillac
D MajorD
I used to see red now it's just all black
E minorEm
As long as I could remember
G+G
I dreamed in black and white
C majorC
As I grew up and the sun went down
D MajorD
I never felt more alright
E minorEm
My mother she used to tell me,
G+G
"Son you better get to church"
C majorC
It's a dark dark world and there's evil out there
D MajorD
And you know it's only getting worse"
E minorEm
Yeah, I never been much for weddings
G+G
or anniversaries
C majorC
But I go to a funeral if I'm invited
D MajorD
any day of the week
E minorEm
Some people say that I sound strange,
G+G
some say that I'm not right
C majorC
But I find beauty in this world
D MajorD
every single night
E minorEm
Take a look at my life, all black
G+G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C majorC
Like Johnny Cash, all black
D MajorD
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
E minorEm
Like the night that we met, all black
G+G
Like the color of your dress, all black
C majorC
Like the seats in my Cadillac
D MajorD
I used to see red now it's just all black
E minorEm
I sat down at her table
G+G
at the end of the night
C majorC
She was having black coffee and a cigarette
D MajorD
She wasn't wearing white
E minorEm
She said, "People tell me that I'm strange
G+G
they say that I'm not right"
C majorC
She said, "The only time I feel alive is
D MajorD
in the dead of night"
E minorEm
I think I found the one for me
E minorEm
Take a look at my life, all black
G+G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C majorC
Like Johnny Cash, all black

I remember feeling so alive
C majorC
The night I looked into her eyes
E minorEm
Take a look at my life, all black
G+G
Take a look at my clothes, all black
C majorC
Like Johnny Cash, all black
D MajorD
Like the Rolling Stones wanna paint it black
