FDBF
F Bb
He was sittin there, his brush in hand
C F
Paintin waves as they danced, upon the sand
Bb
With every stroke, he brought to life
C F
The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin sky
Bb C
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
Bb C
He said for twenty dollars, Ill paint you anything.
Chorus:
F
Well could you Paint Me A Birmingham
D#m
Make it look just the way I planned
Bb
A little house on the edge of town

Porch goin all the way around

Put her there in the front yard swing
D#m
Cotton dress make it, early spring
Bb C
For awhile shell be, mine again
F Bbm

He looked at me, with knowing eyes
C F
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side

Picked up a brush, and said to me

Bb C
I said if theres any way you can
Bb C
Could you paint me back into her arms again.
