Biografía:
James McMurtry, born March 18, 1962, Fort Worth, Texas, is an American rock and folk-rock/americana singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader and occasional actor (Daisy Miller, Lonesome Dove). He performs with veteran bandmates and rhythm section The Heartless Bastards.
His father, novelist Larry McMurtry, gave him his first guitar at age seven. His mother, an English professor, taught him how to play it: "My mother taught me three chords and the rest I just stole as I went along. I learned everything by ear or by watching people."

[Verse]
E B
The gates of the schoolyard
B E
Are padlocked and chained
E B F# E
To keep all the children in out of the rain
E B
The art teacher's preaching
B E
The virtues of pastel shades
E B F# E
You pay no attention but it won't hurt your grades
[Chorus]
E B
'cause you're painting by numbers
B E
Connecting the dots
E B
They don't have to tell you
F# E
You don't call the shots
E B
You jump when they say jump
B E
And you don't ask how high
E B F# E
'cause painting by numbers they know you'll get by
E B F# E
Painting by numbers they know you'll get by
[Verse]
E B
You take a position
B E
In the old man's firm
E B
He signs all the papers
F# E
You agree to the terms
E B
They let you run errands
B E
And you don't get days off
E B F# E
You take off the garbage and hope it pays off
[Chorus]
E B
'cause you're painting by numbers
B E
Connecting the dots
E B
You work from neck down
F# E
You don't call the shots
E B
You jump when they say jump
B E
And you don't ask how high
E B F# E
'cause painting by numbers they know you'll get by
E B F# E
Painting by numbers they know you'll get by
[Verse]
E B
You might be in grad school
B E
Up at M.I.T
E B
You might be down in the canal zone
F# E
Being all that you can be
E B
You might get to thinking
B E
You're ahead of the game
E B
But when you break it all down
F# E
It all comes out the same
[Chorus]
E B
'cause you're painting by numbers
B E
Connecting the dots
E B
You work from neck down
F# E
More often than not
E B
You jump when they say jump

And you don't ask how high
