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         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 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
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
To paint, paint
