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
 	  	  	 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
