[Verse 1]
G C G C I am an old woman named after my mother. G C D G My old man is another child that's grown old. C G C If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire G C D G this old house would've burnt down a long time ago.
[Chorus]
G F C G Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery. F C G Make me a poster of an old rodeo. F C G Just give me one thing that I can hold on to. C D G C G C G C G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
[Verse 2]
G C G C When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy, G C D G He wa'rn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man. C G C But that was a long time, and no matter how I try, G C D G the years just flow by like a broken-down dam.
[Chorus]
G F C G Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery. F C G Make me a poster of an old rodeo. F C G Just give me one thing that I can hold on to. C D G C G C G C G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
[Verse 3]
G C G C There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzin' G C D G and I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today. C G C How the hell can a person go to work in the morning G C D G and come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say?
[Chorus]
G F C G Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery. F C G Make me a poster of an old rodeo. F C G Just give me one thing that I can hold on to. C D G C G C G C G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
