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