I see a red door and I want it painted black.
Em B7
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black.

I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.

With flowers and my love both never to come back.

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away.

Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day.


Em B7
I look inside myself and see my heart is black.
Em B7
I see my red door and must have it painted black.
Em D G D A G Em
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts,
Em D G D A B7
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black.

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue.

My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes.

Stella One Eleven - Jump

Originally from Dan's tablature archive [http://www.zip.com.au/~dm/tabs/]


Intro:

A

Chorus
A
If you should find the truth some day
D A
and jump in the river and float away
A
I'll have to do the best I can
E A
and jump in the river and swim.

Verse
D A E A
There you go my shaking soul is in these hands.
D A
We're waiting here for you -
B
it's been a long day,
D A
and when you come to town
E A
you will find us on our knees -
D A B
you will find us looking round for our salvation,


Chorus
A
If you should find the truth some day
D A
and jump in the river and float away
A
I'll have to do the best I can
E A
and jump in the river and swim.


Verse
D A
out there with her,
E A
pale skin, sad eyes,
D A B
do you feel that luck has loaned you for a while?
D A
cause if you come with me
E A
I would love you so madly
D A B
and watch right out for you and your salvation.


Chorus
A
If you should find the truth some day
D A
and jump in the river and float away
A
I'll have to do the best I can
E A
and jump in the river and swim.


Solo, over the verse progression. It's two guitars in unison, playing
different lines. This is a good approximation of the steadier, lower one.
It swings a little. Listen to the CD for the rhythm:

e--------------------------------------------
b--------------------------------------------
g--777-666--44464-222----777-666--4---------- x2
d--777-777--66666-222----777-777--4---4h7p4--
a------------------------------------------5-
e--------------------------------------------


A
If you should find the truth some day
D A
and jump in the river and float away
A
I'll have to do the best I can
E A
and jump in the river and swim.
A
If you should find the truth some day
D A
and jump in the river and float away
A
I'll have to do the best I can
E A
and jump in the river and swim.
E A
and jump in the river and swim.
E A
and jump in the river...
E E/F# E
Float away...


Repeat solo over verse riff, then

D A E A
There you go my shaking soul is in these hands.
D A
We're waiting here for you -
B
it's been a long day, such a long day *start fade*
D A
and when you come to town
E A
you will find us on our knees -
D A B
you will find us looking round for our salvation,

Outkast - Hey Ya

Originally from Ukulele Hunt [http://ukulelehunt.com/2009/02/24/wellington-international-ukulele-orchestra-outkast-hey-ya-chords/]


VERSE 1
G C
My baby don't mess around because she loves me so
D E
And this I know for sure
G C
But does she really wanna but can't stand to see me
D E
Walk out the door
G C
Don't try to fight the feeling because the thought alone
D E
Is killing me right now
G C
Thank god for mom and dad for sticking through together
D E
'Cause we don't know how

CHORUS
G C D E
Hey Ya , Hey Ya
G C D E
Hey Ya , Hey Ya
G C D E
Hey Ya , Hey Ya
G C D E
Hey Ya , Hey Ya


VERSE 2
G C
You think you've got it, oh, you think you've go it, but got it just don't get it
D E
Till' there's nothing at all
G C
We've been together, oh, we've been together but seperate's always better
D E
When there's feelings involved
G C
If what they say is Nothing is forever
D
Then what makes, Then what makes, Then what makes
E
Then what makes, love the exception
G C
So why you, why you, why you, why you, why you are we so in denial
D E
When we are not happy here

CHORUS

BRIDGE
G C D E x lots

CHORUS


I think the bit in the chorus goes like this:

A--2-2-3-5-7-5-------2-2-3-5-7-5---
E-----------------------------------------
C-----------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------

OR

A-----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------

G--4-4-5-7-9-7-------4-4-5-7-9-7---
