Paint Me a Birmingham

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

                     D
Could you paint me a Birmingham?
                      Bm
Make it look just the way I plan
                      Em
A little house on the edge of town
                    A
Porch goin' all the way around
                     D
Put her there on the front yard swing
                    Bm
Cotton dress, make it early spring

                     Em       A
For awhile she'll be mine again
                        D
If you could paint me a Birmingham

    D                  Em
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
    A                              D
And took a canvas from a bag there by his side
       D               Em
Picked up a brush and said to me
    A                                    D
Son just where in this picture would you like to be?
   Em                           A
I  said if there's anyway you can
          G                       A
Could you paint me back into her arms again?
                     D
Could you paint me a Birmingham?
                      Bm
