Angel From Montgomery John Prine
Capo on the 2nd fret
Verse 1:
[D]I am an old [G]woman na[D]med after my mo[G]ther
[D]My old man is an[G]other chi[A]ld that's grown [D]old
[D]If dreams were [G]thunder [D]lightning was des[G]ire
[D]This old house would have b[G]urnt down a l[A]ong time a[D]go
Chorus:
[D]Make me an a[C]ngel that fl[G]ies from montg[D]omery
[D]Make me a p[C]oster of an o[G]ld rode[D]o
[D]Just give me o[C]ne thing that [G]I can hold [D]on to
[D]To believe in this l[C]iving is just a h[A]ard way to [D]go
Verse 2:
[D]When I was a y[G]oung girl well, I h[D]ad me a c[G]owboy
[D]He weren't much to l[G]ook at, just f[A]ree rambling [D]man
[D]But that was a long [G]time and [D]no matter how [G]I try
[D]The years just f[G]low by like a b[A]roken down [D]dam.
(Repeat chorus/interlude)
Verse 3:
[D]There's flies in the k[G]itchen I can h[D]ear 'em there b[G]uzzing
[D]And I ain't done n[G]othing since I w[A]oke up [D]today.
[D]How the hell can a p[G]erson [D]go to work in the [G]morning
[D]And come home in the e[G]vening and have n[A]othing to [D]say?
(Repeat chorus)
