Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

He was sitting there his brush in hand

Painting waves as they dance upon the sand

With every stroke he brought to life

The deep blue of the ocean against the morning sky

I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes

He said for twenty dollars, I'll paint you anything

Could you paint me a Birmingham?

Make it look just the way I plan

A little house on the edge of town

Porch goin' all the way around

Put her there on the front yard swing

Cotton dress, make it early spring

For awhile she'll be mine aga---in

If you could paint me a Birmingham

He looked at me, with knowing eyes

And took a canvas from a bag there by his side

Picked up a brush and said to me

Son just where in this picture would you like to be?

I asked him if there's anyway you can

Could you paint me back into her arms again?

Could you paint me a Birmingham?

Make it look just the way I plan

A little house on the edge of town

Porch goin' all the way around

Put her there on the front yard swing

Cotton dress, make it early spring

For awhile she'll be mine aga---in

If you could paint me a Birmingham

Paint me a Birmingham Make it look just the way I plan

A little house on the edge of town

Porch goin all the way around

Put her there in the front yard swing

Min

Cotten dress make in early spring

Min

For a while she'll be mine aga--in

If you could paint me a Birmingham
