Intro
[F] [Dm] [Bb] [F]
Verse 1
He was [F]sittin' there, his [Bb]brush in hand
[C]Painting waves as they danced, [F]upon the sand
With every stroke, he [Bb]brought to life
The [C]deep blue of the ocean, against the [F]morning sky
I [Bb]asked him if he only painted [C]ocean scenes
He [Bb]said for twenty dollars, I'll [C]paint you anything
Chorus
Could you paint me a [F]Birmingham?
Make it look just the [Dm]way I planned
A little house on the [Bb]edge of town
Porch goin' all the [C]way around
Put her there in the [F]front yard swing
Cotton dress make it[Dm] early spring
For a while she'll be [Bb]mine again[C]
If you could paint me a [F]Birmingham
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
Verse 2
He [F]looked at me, with [Bb]knowing eyes
And [C]took a canvas from a bag there [F]by his side
Picked up a brush, and [Bb]said to me
Son, [C]just where in this picture would you [F]like to be?
And [Bb]I said if there's any way [C]you can
Could you [Bb]paint me back into her [C]arms again?
Chorus
Could you paint me a [F]Birmingham?
Make it look just the [Dm]way I planned
A little house on the [Bb]edge of town
Porch goin' all the [C]way around
Put her there in the [F]front yard swing
Cotton dress make it[Dm] early spring
For a while she'll be [Bb]mine again[C]
If you could paint me a [F]Birmingham

Make it look just the [Em]way I planned
A little house on the [C]edge of town
Porch goin' all the [D]way around
Put her there in the [G]front yard swing
Cotton dress make it[Em] early spring
For a while she'll be [C]mine again[D]
