Ken MellonsPaint Me A Birmingham
[F] [D#m] [Bb] [F]
He was [F]sittin there, his [Bb]brush in hand
[C]Paintin waves as they danced, u[F]pon the sand
With every stroke, he [Bb]brought to life
The [C]deep blue of the ocean, against the [F]mornin sky
I [Bb]asked him if he only painted [C]ocean scenes
He [Bb]said for twenty dollars, Ill [C]paint you anything.
Chorus:
Well could you Paint Me A [F]Birmingham
Make it look just the [D#m]way I planned
A little house on the [Bb]edge of town
Porch goin all the [C]way around
Put her there in the [F]front yard swing
Cotton dress make it,[D#m] early spring
For awhile shell be[Bb], mine again[C]
If you can Paint Me A Birming[F]ham.[D#m][Bb]
He [F]looked at me, with[Bb] knowing eyes
Then [C]took a canvas from a bag there [F]by his side
Picked up a brush, and [Bb]said to me
Son [C]just in this picture, would you [F]like to me
[Bb]I said if theres any way you [C]can
Could you [Bb]paint me back into her arms a[C]gain.
