       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, I?ll paint you anything.

                            F 
Could you Paint Me A Birmingham 
                      Dm 
Make it look just the way I planned 
                      Bb 
A little house on the edge of town 
                    C 
Porch goin' all the way around 
                    F 
Put her there in the front yard swing 
                     Dm 
Cotton dress make it, early spring 
                    Bb           C 
For awhile she?ll be, mine again 
                             F    
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.

   F                  Bb 
He looked at me, with knowing eyes 
     C                              F 
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side 
                       Bb 
Picked up a brush, and said to me 
    C                              F 
Son just where in this picture would you like to be 
Bb                            C 
I said if there?s any way you can 
          Bb                           C 
Could you paint me back into her arms again. 
 
 
(Chorus) 
                  G 
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 he there in the front yard swing 
                     Em 
Cotton dress make it, early spring 
                    C           D 
For awhile she'll be, mine again 
                             G   Em  
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham 
                     C      G 
Oh Paint Me A Birmingham.
