Verse:
G C
He was sittin' there, his brush in hand
D G
Paintin' waves as they danced, upon the sand
G C
With every stroke, he brought to life
D G
The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin' sky
C D
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
C 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
C
A little house on the edge of town
D
Porch goin' all the way around
G
Put her there in the front yard swing
Em
Cotton dress make it, early spring
C D
For a while she'll be, mine again
G
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham
Verse: 2
G C
He looked at me, with knowing eyes
D G
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side
G C
Picked up a brush, and said to me
D G
Son just where in this picture would you like to be
C D
I said if there's any way you can
C D
Could you paint me back into her arms again.
Chorus

Could you Paint Me A Birmingham

For a while she'll be, mine again
