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