[Intro]
E A E A E A E A
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
E           A    
I am an old woman


[Verse]
E                A     
■ Named after my mother
E             A      
My old man is another
B7                 E  
Child that's grown old
               A      
If dreams were thunder
E                   A     
■ And lightnin' was desire
E                             A   
This old house would've burnt down
     B7        E  
At a long time ago
E               
Make me an angel


[Chorus]
D    A          E         
That flies from Montgomery
          D     
Make me a poster
      A         E
Of an old rodeo ■
             D        
Just give me one thing
A               E    
That I can hold on to
              A          
To believe in this livin'
        B7     E      A  E A
Is just a hard way to go ■ ■


[Verse]
E                    A   
■ When I was a young girl
E                 A     
■ Well I had me a cowboy
E                       A 
He weren't much to look at
       B7   Bsus4    E  
Just a free ramblin' man
               A        
But that was a long time
E        A                 
■ And no matter how I tried
E           A           
Those years just flow by
       Bsus4  E       
Like a broken down dam


[Chorus]
           D    
Make me an angel
     A          E         
That flies from Montgomery
E               
Make me a poster
D         A     E
Of an old rodeo ■
                 D    
Just give me one thing
     A          E    
That I can hold on to
                   A     
To believe in this livin'
          D      C#m7   E 
Is just a ■ hard way to go

[Verse]
                     A      
There's flies in the kitchen
E                      A      
I can hear 'em they're buzzin'
E                  A               B7      E    
■ And I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today
        A                
How the hell can a person
E                   A      
■ Go to work in the mornin'
E                      A      
■ And come home in the evenin'
         B7         E  
And have nothin' to say


[Chorus]
           D    
Make me an angel
A               E         
That flies from Montgomery
          D     
Make me a poster
      A   E    
Of an old rodeo
             D        
Just give me one thing
A               E    
That I can hold on to
                   A     
To believe in this livin'
        D             E 
Is just a hard way to go
   E7              A     
To believe in this livin'
          B7      Bsus4 A Bsus4 E
Is just a ■  hard way   ■ to go ■
