John Prine - Angel From Montgomery guitar chord

Angel From Montgomery

By John Prine

G C G C

I am an old woman named after my mother

G C D G

My old man is another child that's grown old

G C G C

If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire

G C D G

This old house would've burnt down a long time ago

Chorus:

F C G

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery

F C G

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

F C G

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

C D G

To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl, well I had me a cowboy

He weren't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time, and no matter how I try

The years just flow by like a broken-down dam

Chorus

There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear em, they’re buzzin’

But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today

I the hell can a person goes to work in the morning

Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say

Chorus
