Could You Paint Me A Birmingham

Capo 3rd Fret

D G A Bm


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

                            D
Well could you paint me a Birmingham
                         Bm
Make it look just the way I planned

                   G
A little house on the edge of town
                      A
Porch goin' all the way around
                         D
Put her there in the front yard swing
                         Bm
Cotton dress make it, early Spring
                         G        A
For a while she'll be mine again
                            D
If you could paint me a Birmingham


Verse 2

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

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