Verse 1:
      G+G          FF
There's a picture on the wall of me on a John Deere
    Bb majorBb               C majorC
Jenny handed me a beer, said "How the hell did you get there?"
 G+G   FF    Bb majorBb   C majorC
Oh, Oklahoma, mhm, hm
        G+G         FF
There were flowers that were dry sittin' on the dresser
   Bb majorBb                 C majorC
She asked me where they from, I said "A place I don't remember"
 G+G   FF    Bb majorBb   C majorC
Oh, Oklahoma, oh, mhm
     FF              C majorC
Jenny jumped into the pool, she was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
      G minorGm                Bb majorBb
She said "Most men don't want a woman with a legacy, it's of age"
      FF           C majorC
She said "You can't be a muse and be happy too, you can't
 G minorGm          Bb majorBb           FF C majorC G minorGm Bb majorBb
Blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy
     FF  C majorC G minorGm Bb majorBb
And it scared me,   'cause I met a man who
FF           C majorC
Said he'd come back every May
 G minorGm       Bb majorBb        FF     C majorC
Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue
   G minorGm      Bb majorBb
Blue banisters, oh
FF        C majorC
Said he'd fix my weather vane
G minorGm        Bb majorBb
Give me children, take away my pain
        FF     C majorC
And paint my banisters blue
G minorGm     Bb majorBb
My banisters blue


Verse 2:
G+G
There's a hole that's in my heart
 FF
All my women try and heal
Bb majorBb
They're doin' a good job
C majorC
Convincin' me that it's not real
G+G   FF       Bb majorBb  C majorC
It's heat lightnin', oh-uh
        G+G
'Cause there's a man that's in my past
      FF
There's a man that's still right here
      Bb majorBb           C majorC
He's real enough to touch in my darkest nights
G+G   FF   Bb majorBb  C majorC
He's shining, ooh-oh
      FF
Jenny was smokin' by the pool
     C majorC
We were writin' with Nikki Lane
       G minorGm             Bb majorBb
I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires

I wish that it would rain
       FF
I said the power of us three
  C majorC
Can do absolutely anything
  G minorGm
Except that one thing
   Bb majorBb             FF C majorC G minorGm Bb majorBb
The diamonds, the rust and the rain
                FF C majorC G minorGm Bb majorBb
The thing that washes away the pain

But that's okay, 'cause

Verse 3:
FF       C majorC
Now when weather turns to May
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
All my sisters come to paint
FF       C majorC
My banisters gray
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
My blue banisters grey
FF       C majorC
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
Chucky's makin' birthday cake
FF            C majorC
Jake is runnin' barefeet, there's a baby on the way
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
And now my blue banisters are green and grey, ah


Bridge:
FF        C majorC
Summer comes, Winter goes
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
Spring I skip, God knows
FF        C majorC
Summer comes, Winter goes
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
Spring I sleep, Heaven knows
FF        C majorC
Every time it turns to May
G minorGm       Bb majorBb
All my sisters fly to me
FF     C majorC
To paint, paint
