Paint Me A Birmingham Chords

[Intro]
 
G Em C D
 
[Verse]
G                       Am
He was sitting' there, his brush in hand
D                               G
Painting' waves as they danced, upon the sand
G                       Am
With every stroke, he brought to life
D                               G
The deep blue of the ocean, against the morning' sky
Am                      D
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
Am                      D
He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything
 
 
[Chorus]
                        G
Could you Paint Me A BirminghAm
                        Em
Make it look just the way I planned
                        Am
A little house on the edge of town
                        D
Porch going' all the way around
                        G
Put her there in the front yard swing
                        Em
Cotton dress make it, early spring
                        Am
For a while she'll be, mine again
D                               G
  If you can Paint Me A BirminghAm

[Verse]
 
G                       Am
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
D                               G
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
G                       Am
Picked up a brush, and said to me
D                                       G
Son just where in this picture would you like to be
Am                        D
And I said if there's any way you can
Am                                      D
Could you paint me back into her arms again?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                        G
Could you Paint Me A BirminghAm
                        Em
Make it look just the way I planned
                        Am
A little house on the edge of town
                        D
Porch going' all the way around
                        G
Put her there in the front yard swing
                        Em
Cotton dress make it, early spring
                        Am
For a while she'll be, mine again
D                               G
     If you can Paint Me A BirminghAm
 
G Em C D
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                        G
Could you Paint Me A BirminghAm
                        Em
Make it look just the way I planned
                        Am
A little house on the edge of town
                        D
Porch going' all the way around
                        G
Put her there in the front yard swing
                        Em
Cotton dress make it, early spring
                        Am
For a while she'll be, mine again
D                               G
