[Verse 1]
A               D A                   D
I am an old woman named after my mother
A               D     E                   A
My old man is another child that's grown old
A                 D      A              D
If dreams were lightning, thunder was desire
A                          D            E        A
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

[Chorus]
  A         G          D             A
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
  A          G          D   A
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
 A             G            D              A
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
  A                 D                E          A
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

[Verse 2]
    A                D  A               D
When I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy
 A                    D             E             A
He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man
 A               D        A                D
But that was a long time, no matter how I try
A                D             E           A
The years just flow by like a broken down dam

[Chorus]
  A         G          D             A
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
  A          G          D   A
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
 A             G            D              A
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
  A                 D                E          A
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

 [Verse 3]
  A                         D      A                      D
Now there's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing
A                D          E          A
I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
        A                   D    A                     D
Tell me, how the hell can a person go to work in the morning
A                     D                E          A
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say

[Chorus]
  A         G          D             A
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
  A          G          D   A
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
 A             G            D              A
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
  A                 D                E          A
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery

Make me a poster of an old rodeo
 A             G            D              A
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
