G C G C I am an old woman named after my mother. G C D G My old man is another child thatʼs grown old. G C G C If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire G C D G This old house wouldʼve burnt down a long time ago. Chorus: G F C G Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery. G F C G Make me a poster of an old rodeo. G F C G Just give me one thing that I can hold on to. G C D G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go. Instrumental: C G x2 G C G C When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy, G C D G He waʼrnʼt much to look at, just a free ramblinʼ man. G C G C But that was a long time, and no matter how I try, G C D G The years just flow by like a broken-down dam. Chorus: G F C G Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery. G F C G Make me a poster of an old rodeo. G F C G Just give me one thing that I can hold on to. G C D G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
