Angel from Montgomery Chords by John Prine

_ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _ _ I _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] am an [C] old woman [G] named [C] after my mother.
[G] My old man [C] is another [E] child that's grown old.
[G] If [C] dreams were lightning, _ [G] thunder were [C] desire,
[G] this old house [C] would have burnt down [D] a long time ago.
_ [G] Make me [F] an angel [C] that flies from [G] Montgomery.
_ Make [F] me a poster [C] of an old [G] rodeo.
_ Just give [F] me one thing [C] that I can hold [G] on to.
_ To believe [C] in this living is [D] just a hard way to go.
[G] When _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ I [C] was a young girl, [G] well I [C] had me a cowboy.
[G] He weren't much to [C] look at, just [D] a free [G] rambling man.
But that [C] was a long time, [G] and no [C] matter how I tried,
[G] the [C] years just flow by like [E] a broken [G] down dam.
Make [F] me an angel [C] that flies [G] from Montgomery.
Make me a [F] poster of [B] an old [G] rodeo.
Just [F] give me one thing [C] that I can [G] hold on to.
To believe in this [C] living is just [E] a hard [G] way to go. _ _ _ _
_ _ There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear them there [C] buzzing.
[G] _ And I ain't [C] done nothing since I [G] woke up today.
[C] [G] How the hell can a person go to work in [C] the morning
[G] and come home in [C] the evening and have nothing [G] to say?
[C] _ [G] Make me [F] an angel [C] that flies from [G] Montgomery.
_ Make me [F] a poster of an [G] old rodeo.
_ Just give me [F] one thing [C] that I can hold [G] on to.
To believe in [C] this living is just a hard [G] way to go. _ _ _ _ _ _
