Paint me a Birmingham
Capo 4th fret
D MajorD E minorEm
He was sitting there his brush in hand
A/D A augmentedA D MajorD
Painting waves as they dance upon the sand
D MajorD E minorEm
With every stroke he brought to life
A/D A augmentedA D MajorD
The deep blue of the ocean against the morning sky
E minorEm A/D A augmentedA
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
G+G A/D A augmentedA
He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything
D MajorD
Could you paint me a Birmingham?
B minorBm
Make it look just the way I plan
G+G
A augmentedA little house on the edge of town
A augmentedA
Porch goin' all the way around
D MajorD
Put her there on the front yard swing
B minorBm
Cotton dress, make it early spring
G+G A/D A augmentedA
For awhile she'll be mine aga---in
D MajorD
If you could paint me a Birmingham
D MajorD E minorEm
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
A/D A augmentedA D MajorD
And took a canvas from a bag there by his side
D MajorD E minorEm
Picked up a brush and said to me
A/D A augmentedA D MajorD
Son just where in this picture would you like to be?
E minorEm A/D A augmentedA
I asked him if there's anyway you can

Could you paint me back into her arms again?
D MajorD
Could you paint me a Birmingham?
B minorBm
Make it look just the way I plan
G+G
A augmentedA little house on the edge of town
A/D A augmentedA
Porch goin' all the way around
D MajorD
Put her there on the front yard swing

Cotton dress, make it early spring

For awhile she'll be mine aga---in
