Introdução:
D Em
He was sitting there his brush in hand
A D
Painting waves as they dance upon the sand
D Em
With every stroke he brought to life
A D
The deep blue of the ocean against the morning sky
Em A
I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes
G A
He said for twenty dollars, I' ll paint you anything
D
Could you paint me a Birmingham?
Bm
Make it look just the way I plan
Em
A little house on the edge of town
A
Porch goin' all the way around
D
Put her there on the front yard swing
Bm
Cotton dress, make it early spring
Em A
For awhile she' ll be mine again
D
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

Could you paint me back into her arms again?
