<h4>From "Deep Purple", 1969</h4>

<PRE><font face="Courier">Bm7

Painter, come colour up my life



Em                                 Bm7

     Oh painter, come colour up my life



F#m (no 3rd)

   Take away the misery



Em (no 3rd)      Bm7

   Take away the strife




(Bm7)

Writer, write me up a play



Em                             Bm7

Oh writer, make the meaning gay



F#m (no 3rd)                    Em (no 3rd)

Well I don’t need a poem



                       Bm

Just give me words to say




(SOLO)



Bm7

Singer, let me sing a song



Em                           Bm7

    Oh singer, let me sing a song, yeah



F#m (no 3rd)           Em (no 3rd)

     You don't have to worry



                      Bm

Cause singer you can sing along

<pre><font face="Courier"><STRONG>NOTES: </STRONG>The mood of this song is not only based on the chords themselves, 
but also on the basslines, the drumrythm and many variations from organ 
and guitar. So be free to play or not the 3rd&#8217;s where noted « no 3rd » 
or the 7th in the Bm7 chords.</font></pre>
