Angel From Montogomery(Keyboard chords)

	        
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 thunder and lightning was desire 
G                       C            D         G 
this old house would've burnt down a long time ago. 


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. 
                   F                C           G    C   G   C 
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go. 



G           C     G              C 
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy, 
G              C      D                  G 
wa'n'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. 


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. 
                   F                C           G    C   G    
C 
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go. 


G           C     G              C 
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin' 
G              C      D                  G 
but I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today. 
               C      G                    C 
But how the hell can a person go to work in the morning 
G                       C            D         G 
come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say? 


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. 
                   F                C           G    C   G 

                   F                C           G 
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
