These are the chords for Birmingham by Ryan Adams on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
[Intro]
C G x4
[Verse]
C G
I wish I was a painter
D G
Charcoal and buffalo
C G
Or a presidential motorcade
D
Where the cops just come and go
C G
Return me to the station
D G
A box and empty bag
C G
Fall asleep watching the twister
[Chorus]
G D C
In some broken down hotel
in Birmingham
C G x2
{Verse]
C G
Cause I wish I was a calendar
D G
Numbers and good names
C G
Variating slightly
D
But only the pictures ever change
C G
Mark me 'return to sender'
D G
I'm like a letter without a stamp
C G
I wasn't written to be read
C G
And I am sleepless in this bed

G D C
In some broken down hotel
in Birmingham
C G x4
[Verse]
C G
Held her hand in Old Savannah
D G
Marigold print on her dress
C G
Her hair was combed and parted
D
Like a beautiful princess
C G
I didn't see you at the altar
D G
Way back then you were so drunk
C G
You were washed up on some hooker's
bed
D
Behind a shitty restaurants
C
Bought her pretty
G
clothes and diamonds
D G
The guy was born to be her man
C G
We were more than commentary
D
For a cheap headline grab
C
So when the wind blows
G
in your window
D G
'Cause the storm don't give a damn
C
Pray the window don't break
G D
Across the wrist of your writing
hand
C G
On a stationary wept with tears
D G
Of the peoples backs you stab
C G
When you're hiding like a robber
D
With no one's purse to grab
C G
Remember me standing there
D
holding out my hand
