ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY

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

CHORUS

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


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

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