Angel From Montgomery(Chords)

	        G                   C       G                            C   
I am an old woman  named after my mother.   
G                         C          D7                         G   
My old man is another child that's grown old.  
G                        C            G                                    C   
If dreams were lightning   and thunder were desire.  
G                                        C                    D7              G   
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago   

         
                      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                       D7               G   
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go. 
   
   
   
When I was a young girl, well. I had me a cowboy.  
He weren'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.   
   
Chorus   
   
   
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear em, them buzzin'   
But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.   
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning,   
Come home in the evening and have nothin' to say?  
   
   
Chorus
