Paint me a Birmingham
Capo 4th fret.
He was sittiDng there his bEmrush in hand
APainting waves as they dance upDon the sand
With eDvery stroke he Embrought to life
The Adeep blue of the ocean against the Dmorning sky
I aEmsked him if he only painted Aocean scenes 
He sGaid for twenty dollars, I'll Apaint you anything
Could you paint me a DBirmingham?
Make it look just the Bmway I plan
A little house on the Emedge of town
Porch goin' all the Away around
Put her there on the Dfront yard swing
Cotton dress, make iBmt early spring
For awhile she'll be Emmine agaiAn
If you could paint me a DBirmingham
He lDooked at me, with kEmnowing eyes
And Atook a canvas from a bag there Dby his side
Picked Dup a brush and sEmaid to me
Son Ajust where in this picture would you Dlike to be?
I  Emsaid if there's anyway you caAn
Could you Gpaint me back into her aArms again?
Could you paint me a DBirmingham?
Make it look just the Bmway I plan
A little house on the Emedge of town
Porch goin' all the Away around
Put her there on the Dfront yard swing
Cotton dress, make iBmt early spring
For awhile she'll be Emmine agaiAn
If you could paint me a DBirmingham
Paint me a EBirmingham Make it look just the C#mway I plan
A little house on the F#medge of town
Porch goin' all the Bway around
Put her there in the Efront yard swing
Cotton dress make it C#mearly spring
For a while she'll be F#mmine agaiBn
If you could paint me a EBirmingham
