  G             C
   I am an old woman
  G                C
   Named after my mother,
  G                C
   My old man is another
   G              C   G    C  G
   Child that's grown old
		   C
   If dreams were lightning
  G                    C
   And thunder were desire
  G                           C
   This old house would have burnt down
    G       C    G   C 
   A long time ago

  G           F            C               G    C  G
   Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery,
	      F           C       G  C  G
   Make me a poster of an old rodeo
		 F             C             G    C  G
   Just give me one thing that I can hold on to,
		       C                G        C  G     C
   To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

  G              C
   When I was a young girl
  G            C
   I had me a cowboy
  G                    C
   He weren't much to look at,
	    G       C    G     C  G
   Just a free ramblin' man.
                      C
   But that was a long time
  G                   C    
   And no matter how I try,
  G                 C        
   The years just flow by    
	    G     C    G   C
   like a broken down dam.

  G           F            C               G    C  G
   Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery,
	      F           C       G  C  G
   Make me a poster of an old rodeo
		 F             C             G    C  G
   Just give me one thing that I can hold on to,
		       C                G        C  G     C
   To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go

 G   C    G     C    

  G                      C
   There's flies in the kitchen
  G                         C 
   I can hear 'em in there buzzin'
  G                  C
   And I ain't done nothin' 
	    G       C    G  C  G
   Since I woke up today.
		       C
   How the hell can a person
  G                   C
   Go to work in the mornin'
  G                 C
   Come home in the evenin'
	     G       C  G   C  
   And have nothin' to say?

  G           F            C               G    C  G
   Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery,
	      F           C       G  C  G
   Make me a poster of an old rodeo
		 F             C             G    C  G
   Just give me one thing that I can hold on to,
		       C                G        C  G     C
   To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go
