            Angel From Montgomery
JOHN PRINE

[Intro]
G  C  G  C  G  C

[Verse 1]
G             C     G           C
I am an old woman named after my mother
       G        C       D7           G    C  G
My old man is another child that's grown old
G               C         G           C
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
 G                          C           D7        G     C
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

[Chorus]
 G          F          C            G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
           F                  D7    G    C
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  C  G  C  G
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

[Verse 2]
G             C     G           C
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
       G        C       D7           G    C  G
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
G               C         G           C
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
 G                          C           D7        G     C
The years just flow by like a broken down dam

[Chorus]
 G          F          C            G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
           F                  D7    G    C
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  C  G  C  G
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

[Verse 3]
G             C     G           C
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing
       G        C       D7           G    C  G
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
G               C         G           C
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
 G                          C           D7        G     C
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say

[Chorus]
 G          F          C            G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
           F                  D7    G    C
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  C  G  C  G
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

[Outro] (Fade out)
