Tuning: EADGBE

Capo 3rd Fret

D,G,A,Bm


 	 D MajorD 	  	 G+G
He was sittin' there, his brush in hand
   A augmentedA 	  	  	  	 D MajorD
Paintin' waves as they danced, upon the sand
 	 D MajorD 	  	 G+G
With every stroke, he brought to life
    A augmentedA 	  	  	  	 D MajorD
The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin' sky
G+G 	  	  	  	 A augmentedA
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
G+G 	  	  	      A augmentedA
He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything

Chorus:

 	  	  	    D MajorD
Well could you paint me a Birmingham
 	  	  	 B minorBm
Make it look just the way I planned
 	  	   G+G
A augmentedA little house on the edge of town
 	  	      A augmentedA
Porch goin' all the way around
 	  	  	 D MajorD
Put her there in the front yard swing
 	  	  	 B minorBm
Cotton dress make it, early Spring
 	  	  	 G+G 	  A augmentedA
For a while she'll be mine again
 	  	  	    D MajorD
If you could paint me a Birmingham


Verse 2

 	 D MajorD 	  	 G+G
He looked at me, with knowin' eyes
      A augmentedA 	  	  	  	     D MajorD
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
 	 D MajorD 	  	 G+G
Picked up a brush, and said to me
     A augmentedA 	  	  	  	  	   D MajorD
Son just where in this picture, would you like to be
G+G 	  	  	       A augmentedA
I said if there is any way you can
 	   G+G 	  	  	  	 A augmentedA
Could you paint me back into her arms again


Repeat Chorus


followed by Bm,G,A

 	  	 D MajorD
Put her there in the front yard swing
 	  	  	 B minorBm
Cotton dress make it, early Spring
 	  	  	 G+G 	  A augmentedA
For a while she'll be mine again
 	  	  	    D MajorD
If you could paint me a Birmingham
