Paint me a Birmingham
Intro- F Dm Bb C
F Bb
He was sitting there his brush in hand
C F
Painting waves as they dance upon the sand
F Bb
With every stroke he brought to life
C F
The deep blue of the ocean against the morning sky
Bb G7
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
Bb C
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 plan
Bb
A little house on the edge of town
C
Porch goin' all the way around
F
Put her there on the front yard swing
Dm
Cotton dress, make it early spring
Bb
For awhile she'll be mine again
F
If you could paint me a Birmingham
F Bb
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
C F
And took a canvas from a bag there by his side
F Bb
Picked up a brush and said to me
C F
Son just where in this picture would you like to be?
Bb G7
And I said if there's anyway you can
Bb C
Could you paint me back into her arms again?
G
Could you paint me a Birmingham?
Em
Make it look just the way I plan
C
A little house on the edge of town
D
Porch goin' all the way around
G
Put her there on the front yard swing
Em
Cotton dress, make it early spring
C D
For awhile she'll be mine again
G
If you could paint me a Birmingham
