Capo 4th fret

            D (xx0232@1)           Em (022000@1)       
He was sitting there his brush in hand
A/D (x00220@1)          A (x02220@1)              D (xx0232@1)    
Painting waves as they dance upon the sand
      D (xx0232@1)            Em (022000@1)              
With every stroke he brought to life
     A/D (x00220@1)           A (x02220@1)               D (xx0232@1)    
The deep blue of the ocean against the morning sky
   Em (022000@1)                        A/D (x00220@1)  A (x02220@1)

Make it look just the way I plan
                      G (320003@1)       
A little house on the edge of town
                    A (x02220@1)    
Porch goin' all the way around
                     D (xx0232@1)          
Put her there on the front yard swing
                      Bm (x24432@1)        
Cotton dress, make it early spring
                     G (320003@1)   A/D (x00220@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A
