Capo 1st fret

1. He's a lovely man with a whistle on his lips

A painter and he loves to paint red tulips

A good guy and a friend to everyone he meets

And when he buys new paint in the little store

You see him smile when he walks out the door ... Uhuhuuuuuuuu

Chorus

He said play me a picture

I said paint me a song

For many years we've come together each day

I sing about flowers and he paints for hours and when I go

I say "See you Monday"

2. We sat down on his balcony

Watched the people from above and drank a cup of tea

I said, lets turn the tables for just one day

He gave me his brushes and I gave him my guitar

We smiled and he started to play ... Uhuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Chorus

He said play me a picture

I said paint me a song

For many years we've come together each day

I sing about flowers and he paints for hours and when I go

I say "See you Monday"

Bridge

One day a man came and said.

I pay millions for your art

The painter said "thanks, I'm as rich as I can be

'Cause I've all the things you can't buy ...

With money" ... Uhuhuuuuu

Chorus

He said play me a picture

I said paint me a song

For many years we've come together each day

I sing about flowers and he paints for hours and when I go

I say "See you Monday"
