[Verse]
            A     E                A     
I am an old woman ■ named after my mother
E               A       B                  E  
■ My old man is another child that's grown old
          A            E                  A     
If dreams were thunder ■ and lighting was desire
E                         A            B    Dbm      E
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago ■


[Chorus]
           D          A          E         
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
          D            A   E    
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
             D              A          E    
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
                   A                B             E 
To believe in this living is just a ■ hard way to go

[Verse]
                   A    E                 A     
When I was a young girl ■ well I had me a cowboy
E                         A         B             E  
■ He weren't much to look at just a free rambling man
               A7   E                  A7    A  
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
E                  A              B7          E  
■ Those years just flow by like a broken down dam


[Chorus]
           D     A               E         
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
          D            A   E    
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
             D         A               E    
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
                   A                Bm7 E             
To believe in this living is just a ■   hard way to go

[Verse]
E                            A E                    A      
There's flies in the kitchen ■ I can hear 'em there buzzing
E                        A              B  E    
And I ain't done nothing ■ since I woke up today
                   A      A7 E                 A7     
How the hell can a person ■  go to work in the morning
E                    A                B          E  
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say


[Chorus]
           D          A          E         
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
          D                A     E
Make me a poster of an old rodeo ■
                 D            A           E 
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
                   A                Bm7  Dbm7 E    
To believe in this living is just a hard way  to go
                   A                B B7   E        
To believe in this living is just a ■ hard way to go
