JOHN PRINE

Intro:

[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]

G C G C

I am an old woman named after my mother

G C D7 G C G

My old man is another child that's grown old

G C G C

If dreams were lightning thunder was desire

G C D7 G C

This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Chorus

G F C G

Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry

F D7 G C

Make me a poster of an old rodeo

F C G

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

C D7 G C G C 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 free rambling man

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

The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

Repeat Chorus:

There's flies in the kitchen]I can hear 'em there buzzing

And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning

And come home in the evening and have nothing to Say.

Repeat Chorus:

Ending:

[G] [C] [G] [C] ( Repeat and fade)
