Lawrence Tracy - Paint Me Bermingham guitar tab

It is 1/2 a step higher on the cd than this, so stick a capo on 1.

F Dm Bb F

F Bb

He was sittin' there, his brush in hand

C F

Paintin' waves as they danced, upon the sand

Bb

With every stroke, he brought to life

C F

The deep blue of the ocean, against the mornin' sky

Bb C

I asked him if he only painted ocean scenes

Bb C

He said for twenty dollars, I’ll paint you anything.

(Chorus:)

F

Could you Paint Me A Birmingham

Dm

Make it look just the way I planned

Bb

A little house on the edge of town

C

Porch goin' all the way around

F

Put her there in the front yard swing

Dm

Cotton dress make it, early spring

Bb C

For awhile she’ll be, mine again

F

If you can Paint Me A Birmingham.

Dm Bb F

F Bb

He looked at me, with knowing eyes

C F

Then took a canvas from a bag there by his side

Bb

Picked up a brush, and said to me

C F

Son just in this picture would you like to me

Bb C

I said if there’s any way you can

Bb C

Could you paint me back into her arms again.

(Chorus)

G

Paint Me A Birmingham

Em

Make it look just the way I planned

C

A little house on the edge of town

D

Porch goin' all the way around

G

Put he there in the front yard swing

Em

Cotton dress make it, early spring

C D

For awhile she'll be, mine again

G Em

If you can Paint Me A Birmingham

C G

Oh Paint Me A Birmingham.
