Angel From Montgomery John Prine
Intro: E A
[E]I am an old woman [A] named a[E]fter my mother.[A] [E]
My old man is another chil[A]d that's [B]grown old.[E]
If dreams were thunder [A]and lightn[E]ing was desire[A] [E]
this old house would've burnt down a l[A]ong time ago.[B] [E]
CHORUS
Make me an angel that [D]flies from [A]Montgomery.[E]
Make me a poster o[D]f an old rodeo.[Ama7] [E]
Just give me one thin[D]g that I can hold on [A]to.[E]
To believe in this living is[D] just a hard way [A6]to go.[E] [A] [E] [A] [E]
When I was a young girl[A] I had me a [E]cowboy,[A] [E]
wasn't much to look at, j[A]ust a free ramblin' m[B]an.[A] [E]
But that was a long time[A], and no mat[E]ter how I try,[A] [E]
the years just flow by[A] like a broken-down d[B]am.[E]
Chorus
Solo: E A
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear[E]
all their [A]buzzin'[E]
but I ain't done nothin' [A]since I woke up today.[B] [E]
How the Hell can a p[A]erson go to work i[E]n the morning[A] [E]
come home in the evenin' and h[A]ave nothin' to say.[B] [E]
Chorus
“To believe in this livin’ is just a[A6] hard way to go.” (ritard)
