[Verse 1]
            E                
There's a picture on the wall 
  D
of me on a John Deere
                   G    
Johnny handed me a beer, 
               A   
said "How the hell did you get there?"
 E      D       G     A
Oh, Oklahoma, mhm, hm
               E                 
There were flowers that were dry 
D
sittin' on the dresser
        G                       
She asked me where they from, 
         A  
I said "A place I don't remember"
 E      D       G      A
Oh, Oklahoma, oh, mhm
          D               
Jenny jumped into the pool, 
           A
she was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
           Em                          
She said "Most men don't want a woman 
      G
with a legacy at our age"
           D                   
She said "You can't be amused, 
A
be happy 'til you can't"
 Em                    G               
Lock in the pages with Russian poetry 
              D   A Em G
and be where you be
     D   A Em G
And I scared me, 'cause I met a man who
D                     A
Said he'd come back every May
 Em              G             
Just to help me if I'd paint my 
  D         A
banisters blue
 Em              G
Blue banisters, oh
D                A
Said he'd fix my weather vane
Em               G
Give me children, take away my pain
D                A
And paint my banisters blue
Em         G
My banisters blue
 
 
[Verse 2]

E
There's a hole that's in my heart
 D
All my women try and heal
G
They're doin' a good job
A
Convincin' me that it's not real
E      D             G     A
It's heat lightnin', oh-uh
                E
'Cause there's a man that's in my past
           E
There's a man that's still right here
            G                      A
He's real enough to touch in my darkest nights
E      D      G    A
He's shining, ooh-oh
            E
Jenny was smokin' by the pool
          A
We were writin' with Nikki Lane
              Em                          G
I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires
 
I wish that it would rain
              D
I said the power of us three
    A
Can do absolutely anything
    Em
Except that one thing
     G                          D A Em G
The diamonds, the rust and the rain
                                D A Em G
The thing that washes away the pain
 
But that's okay, 'cause
 
 
[Verse 3]

D             A
Now when weather turns to May
Em              G
All my sisters come to paint
D             A
My banisters gray
Em              G
My blue banisters grey
D             A
Tex and Mex are in the Bay
Em              G
Chucky's makin' birthday cake
D                        A
Jake is runnin' barefeet, 

there's a baby on the way
Em              G
And now my blue banisters 

are green and grey, ah
 
 
[Bridge]

D               A
Summer comes, Winter goes
Em             G
Spring I skip, God knows
D               A
Summer comes, Winter goes
Em             G
Spring I sleep, Heaven knows
D               A
Every time it turns to May
Em             G
All my sisters fly to me
D          A
To paint, paint
