Angel From Montgomery

 
                
E           A     E              A  
I am an old woman named after my mother.  
E              A      D                  E  
My old man is another child that's grown old.  
               A      E                    A  
If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire  
E                       A            D         E  
this old house would've burnt down a long time ago.  
  
           D          A          E  
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.  
          D         A      E  
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.  
             D              A          E  
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.  
                   D                A           E    A   E   A  
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.  
  
  
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy,  
  
wa'n't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man.  
  
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try,  
  
the years just flow by like a broken-down dam.  
  
(repeat chorus)  
  
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'  
  
but I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.  
  
I am kind of person goes to work in the morning  
  
come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say.  
  
(repeat chorus)  
                   D                A           E  
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
