            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                  F 
There were flowers that were dry sittin' on the dresser 
     Bb                                  C 
She asked me where they from, I said "A place I don't remember" 
 G      F       Bb     C 
Oh, Oklahoma, oh, mhm 
          F                            C 
Jenny jumped into the pool, she was swimmin' with Nikki Lane 
           Gm                               Bb 
She said "Most men don't want a woman with a legacy, it's of age" 
           F                      C 
She said "You can't be a muse and be happy too, you can't 
 Gm                    Bb                   F  C  Gm  Bb 
Blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy 
        F    C  Gm  Bb 
And that 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
[Strophe]
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
[Strophe]
F             C 
Now when weather turns to May 
Gm              Bb 
All my sisters come to paint 
F             C 
My banisters green 
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 
And now my blue banisters are green and grey, ah
[Pont]
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 
To paint, paint
