[Verse 1]

          G                   F
There's a picture on the wall of me on a John Deere
        Bb                             C
Jenny handed me a beer, said "How the hell did you get there?"
 G      F       Bb     C
Oh, Oklahoma, mhm, hm
               G                
There were flowers that were dry 
F
sittin' on the dresser
     Bb                                  
She asked me where they from 
            C
I said "A place I don't remember"
 G      F       Bb     C
Oh, Oklahoma, oh, mhm
          F                            
Jenny jumped into the pool 
           C
She was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
           Gm                             
She said "Most men don't want a woman 
       Bb
With a legacy, it's of age"
      F                           
She said "You can't be a muse 
    C
And be happy too, you can't
 Gm                    Bb                    
Blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be 
 F C Gm Bb
happy     
         F   C Gm Bb
And it scared me,      'cause I met a man who
F                     C
Said he'd come back every May
 Gm              Bb               F       C
Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue
      Gm        Bb
Blue banisters, oh
F                C
Said he'd fix my weather vane
Gm               Bb
Give me children, take away my pain
    F                 C
And paint my banisters blue
Gm         Bb
My banisters blue

  

[Verse 2]
        G
There's a hole that's in my heart
 F
All my women try and heal
        Bb
They're doin' a good job
           C
Convincin' me that it's not real
    G      F         Bb    C
It's heat lightnin', oh-uh
                   G
'Cause there's a man that's in my past
 F
There's a man that's still right here
 Bb                            C
He's real enough to touch in my darkest nights
     G  F      Bb    C
He's shining, ooh-oh
            F
Jenny was smokin' by the pool
          C
We were writin' with Nikki Lane
           Gm                          Bb
I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires

I wish that it would rain
  F
I said the power of us three
  C
Can do absolutely anything
  Gm
Except that one thing
     Bb                       F C Gm Bb
The diamonds, the rust and the rain
                              F C Gm Bb
The thing that washes away the pain

 But that's okay, 'cause

  

[Verse 3]
F             C
Now when weather turns to May
Gm              Bb
All my sisters come to paint
   F         C
My banisters gray
         Gm        Bb
My blue banisters grey
F              C
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
Gm              Bb
Chucky's makin' birthday cake
F                               C
Jake is runnin' barefeet, there's a baby on the way
Gm               Bb           F         C
And now my blue banisters are green and grey, ah

  

[Bridge]
       F             C
Summer comes, Winter goes
        Gm         Bb
Spring I skip, God knows
       F             C
Summer comes, Winter goes
        Gm           Bb
Spring I sleep, Heaven knows
F               C
Every time it turns to May
Gm             Bb
All my sisters fly to me
   F      C   Gm Bb
To paint, paint


[Outro]
