Angel From Montgomery

G           C     G              
I am an old woman named after my 
C
mother.
G              C      D         
My old man is another child 
         G
that's grown old.
               C             G    
If dreams were lightning and 
          C
thunder were desire
G                       C        
this old house would've burnt 
    D         G
down a long time ago.

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

G            C         G         
When I was a young girl I had me a 
  C
cowboy,
G                  C              
He wa'rn't much to look at, just a
 D             G
 free ramblin' man.
              C          G     
But that was a long time, and no 
             C
matter how I try,
G              C           
the years just flow by like a 
   D           G
broken-down dam.

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

[Verse 3]
G                    C      G   
There's flies in the kitchen, I 
                   C
can hear all their buzzin'
G                C               
but I ain't done nothin' since I 
D         G
woke up today.
                       C     G    
But how the hell can a person go 
              C
to work in the morning
G                C                
come home in the evenin' and have 
D          G
nothin' to say?

[Chorus]
G          F          C         
Make me an angel that flies from
     G
 Montgomery.
          F            C       G
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
             F              C     
Just give me one thing that I can 
     G

                   C

 hard way to go.
