Intro: FDmBbFFBb
He was sittin' there, his brush in hand
CF
Paintin' waves as they danced, upon the sand
Bb
With every stroke, he brought to life
CF
The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin' sky
BbC
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
BbC
He said for twenty dollars, I?ll paint you anything.
F
Could you Paint Me A Birmingham
Dm
Make it look just the way I planned
BbA little house on the edge of town
C
Porch goin' all the way around
F
Put her there in the front yard swing
Dm
Cotton dress make it, early spring
BbC
For awhile she?ll be, mine again
F
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.
DmBbFFBb
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
CF
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
Bb
Picked up a brush, and said to me
CF
Son just where in this picture would you like to be
BbC
I said if there?s any way you can
BbC
Could you paint me back into her arms again.
(Chorus)
G
