C G
I am an old woman
Am
Named after my mother
E7
My old man is another
F
Child that's grown old
C G
If dreams were lightning
Am
And thunder were desire
E7
This old house would have burned down
F
A long time ago
C G
Make me an angel
Am
That flies from Montgomery
E7
Make me a poster
F
Of an old rodeo
C G
Just give me one thing
Am
That I can hold on to
E7
To believe in this livin'
F
Is just a hard way to go
C G
When I was a young girl
Am
Well, I had me a cowboy
E7
He weren't much to look at
F
Just a free ramblin' man
C G
But that was a long time
Am
And no matter how I try
E7
The years just flow by
F
Like a broken down dam
C G
Make me an angel
Am
That flies from Montgomery
E7
Make me a poster

Of an old rodeo
C G
Just give me one thing
Am
That I can hold on to

Is just a hard way to go
C G
There’s flies in the kitchen
Am
I can hear them there buzzin'
E7
And I ain't done nothin'
F
Since I woke up today
C G
How the hell can a person
Am
Go to work in the morning
E7
Come home in the evening
F
And have nothin' to say
C G
Make me an angel
Am
That flies from Montgomery
E7
Make me a poster
F
Of an old rodeo
C G
Just give me one thing
Am
That I can hold on to
