🎶 Blue Banisters

There's a pic[Db]ture on the wall of [Em]me on a John Deere
Jenny [B#]handed me a beer, said "How the [A#]hell did you get there?"
[Db]Oh, Okla[Em]homa, mhm,[B#] hm [A#]
There were flo[Db]wers that were dry [Em]sittin' on the dresser
She [B#]asked me where they from, I said "A [A#]place I don't remember"
[Db]Oh, Okla[Em]homa, oh,[B#] mhm [A#]
Jenny jump[Em]ed into the pool, she was swim[A#]min' with Nikki Lane
She said [F#]"Most men don't want a woman with a [B#]legacy, it's of age"
She said [Em]"You can't be a muse and [A#]be happy too, you can't
[F#]Blacken the pages with [B#]Russian poetry and be [Em]hap[A#]py [F#] [B#]
And that [Em]scar[A#]ed [F#]me, [B#]'cause I met a man who
[Em]Said he'd come back e[A#]very May
[F#]Just to help me [B#]if I'd paint my ba[Em]nisters [A#]blue
Blue [F#]banisters, oh [B#]
[Em]Said he'd fix my [A#]weather vane
[F#]Give me children, [B#]take away my pain
And paint my ba[Em]nisters [A#]blue
[F#]My banisters [B#]blue

[Db]There's a hole that's in my heart
[Em]All my women try and heal
[B#]They're doin' a good job
[A#]Convincin' me that it's not real
[Db]It's [Em]heat lightnin', [B#]oh-uh [A#]
'Cause there's a [Db]man that's in my past
There's a [Em]man that's still right here
He's real e[B#]nough to touch in my dar[A#]kest nights
[Db]He's [Em]shining, [B#]ooh-oh [A#]
Jenny was [Em]smokin' by the pool
We were [A#]writin' with Nikki Lane
I said I'm scar[F#]ed of the Santa Clarita Fires [B#]
I wish that it would rain
I said the pow[Em]er of us three
Can [A#]do absolutely anything
Ex[F#]cept that one thing
The [B#]diamonds, the rust and the [Em]rain [A#] [F#] [B#]
The thing that washes away the [Em]pain [A#] [F#] [B#]
But that's okay, 'cause

[Em]Now when weather [A#]turns to May
[F#]All my sisters [B#]come to paint
My [Em]banisters [A#]green
My blue [F#]banisters [B#]grey
[Em]Tex and Mex are [A#]in the Bay
[F#]Chucky's makin' [B#]birthday cake
[Em]Chickens runnin', bare feet, there's [A#]a baby on the way
[F#]And now my blue [B#]banisters are green and grey, ah

[Em]Summer comes, [A#]Winter goes
[F#]Spring I skip, [B#]God knows
[Em]Summer comes, [A#]Winter goes
[F#]Spring I sleep, [B#]Heaven knows
[Em]Every time it [A#]turns to May
[F#]All my sisters [B#]fly to me
[Em]To paint, [A#]paint⠀
