PAINT ME A BIRMINGHAM Artist: Tracy Lawrence 2004, Dreamworks Records 4/10/2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: I thought I would submit this tab for beginners. By placing a capo on the 6th fret, there are only 2 bar chords to worry about. I am including 2 ways to play this song.
