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.


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
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?

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

          FF        C majorC      G+G
