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

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