ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY


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


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

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

(repeat chorus)

D                G             D                 G
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
D                G         A                 D
but I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
D                G             D                 G
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
D                G         A                 D
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say

(repeat chorus and fade)
