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


[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 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
Chickens runnin', bare feet, 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
