I am an [B] old woman [F#] named after [B] my mother.
[F#] My old man [B] is another
[D#] [C#] child that's [F#] grown old.
If dreams were [B] lightning and [F#] thunder were [B] desire,
[F#] this old house [B] would have burnt down [C#m] a long [F#] time ago.
Make [E] me an angel that [B] flies from [F#] Montgomery.
Make me [E] a poster of [B] an old
[F#] rodeo.
Just [E] give me one thing [B] that I can hold [F#] on to.
To believe in [B] this living is just a [C#] hard way [F#] to go.
When I was [B] a young girl,
[F#] when they had me at [B] Cowboy,
[F#] there weren't much to look [B] at, just [C#] a free-ramblin' [F#] man.
But that was [B] a long time, [F#] and no matter [B] how I try,
[F#] the years just [B] flow by [F#] like a [C#] broken [F#]-down dance.
Make me [E] an angel [B] that flies [F#] from Montgomery.
Make [E] me a poster of [B] an old [F#] rodeo.
Just [Em] give me one [E] thing [B] that I can hold [F#] on to.
To believe in [B] this living is just [C#] a hard way [F#] to go.

There's flies in the [B] kitchen.
[F#] I can hear them, they're [B] buzzin'.
[F#] And I ain't done [B] nothin' [C#] since I woke up [F#] today.
I'm a health-care [B] person.
[F#] Go to work [B] in the morning and [F#] come home in [B] the evening
and [C#] have nothin' [F#] to say.
Make [E] me an angel [B] that flies from [F#] Montgomery.
Make me [E] a poster of [B] an old [F#] rodeo.
Just give me [E] one thing [B] that I can hold [F#] on to.
To believe in [B] this living is [C#] just a hard [F#] way to go.
To believe in [B] this living is [C#] just a hard way [G#] to [F#] go.
