Blue Banisters Chords by Lana Del Rey

[Start]

[Verse]
G                            
There's a picture on the wall
   F                 
Of me on a John Deere
Bb                    
Jenny handed me a beer
             C                     
Said How the hell did you get there
G          
Oh Oklahoma
     F  Bb
Mmmm mm ■ 
C G                               
■ There were flowers that were dry
F                     
Sittin' on the dresser
Bb                             
She asked me where they're from
         C                     
I said A place I don't remember
G           F Bb
Oh Oklahoma ■ ■ 


[Chorus]
C F                         
■ Jenny jumped into the pool
        C                       
She was swimmin' with Nikki Lane
         Gsus4                 Gm7  
She said Most men don't want a woman
       Bb                
With a legacy it's of age
         F                          C        
She said You can't be a muse and be happy too
          Gm7                    Bb            
You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry
F      C     Gm7
And be happy ■  
Bb       F C      Gsus4 Gm
And that ■ scared me    ■ 


[Verse]
                       F
'cause I met a man who ■
               C             
Said he'd come back every May
Gm7              Bb        F        C             
■   Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue
Gm7  Bb            F
Blue banisters ooh ■


[Chorus]
          C      Gm         
Said he'd fix my weathervane
        Bb                    F   
Give me children take away my pain
             C             
And paint my banisters blue
Gm Gm7       Bb  
My banisters blue


[Verse]
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 lightning ohohoh ■  ■ oh
                 G                    
'cause there's a man that's in my past
F                                    
There's a man that's still right here
Bb                       
He's real enough to touch
      C                   G      
In my darkest nights he's shinin'
F         Bb C           F                  
Oohoohooh ■  ■ Jenny was smokin' by the pool


[Chorus]
   C                           
We were writin' with Nikki Lane
       Gm  Gm7                         Bb   
I said I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires
Bb                       
I wish that it would rain
F                            C                            
I said the power of us three can bring absolutely anything
Gm              Gm7  
Except that one thing
    Bb                    F   C    Gm7
The diamonds the rust and the rain ■  
Bb                                 
The thing that washes away the pain
F   C Gm7 Bb          F     
But ■ ■   that's okay 'cause


[Verse]
                 C           
Now when weather turns to May
       Gm      Bb               F         C    
All my sisters come to paint my banisters green
        Gm7       Bb  
My blue banisters grey


[Chorus]
F             C             
■ Tex and Mex are in the Bay
Gm7                 Bb           
■   Chucky's makin' birthday cake
F                        C                        
Jake is runnin' barefeet there's a baby on the way
        Gm      Bb        Bbmaj7 F         C         Gm7
And now my blue banisters are    green and grey ahah ■  
Bb F                   C   
■  Summer comes winter goes
                  Bb   
Spring I skip God knows
F                   C   
Summer comes winter goes
Gm7            Bb     F    
Spring I sleep Heaven knows
           C              
Every time it turns to May
Gm7        Bbmaj7           
■   All my sisters fly to me
F  C     Gm7  
To paint paint
