Intro: F5 D5 Bb5 F5 
 
       F5                  Bb5 
He was sittin' there, his brush in hand 
C5                               F5  
Paintin' waves as they danced, upon the sand 
                      Bb5 
With every stroke, he brought to life 
    C5                                   F5 
The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin' sky 
  Bb5                           C5 
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes 
   Bb5                            C5 
He said for twenty dollars, I?ll paint you anything.

                            F5 
Could you Paint Me A Birmingham 
                      D5 
Make it look just the way I planned 
                      Bb5 
A little house on the edge of town 
                    C5 
Porch goin' all the way around 
                    F5 
Put her there in the front yard swing 
                     D5 
Cotton dress make it, early spring 
                    Bb5           C5 
For awhile she?ll be, mine again 
                             F5    
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.

D5 Bb5 F5 
 
   F5                  Bb5 
He looked at me, with knowing eyes 
     C5                              F5 
Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side 
                       Bb5 
Picked up a brush, and said to me 
    C5                              F5 
Son just where in this picture would you like to be 
Bb5                            C5 
I said if there?s any way you can 
          Bb5                           C5 
Could you paint me back into her arms again. 
 
(Chorus) 
                  G5 
Paint Me A Birmingham 
                      E5 
Make it look just the way I planned 
                      C5 
A little house on the edge of town 
                    D5 
Porch goin' all the way around 
                    G5 
Put he there in the front yard swing 
                     E5 
Cotton dress make it, early spring 
                    C5           D5 
For awhile she'll be, mine again 
                             G5   E5  
If you can Paint Me A Birmingham 
                     C5      G5 
Oh Paint Me A Birmingham.
