[Verse 1]
[G]I am an old wom[C]an
[G]named after my mot[C]her
[G]My old man is ano[C]ther
[D]child that's grown [G]old[C]
[G]If dreams were lig[C]htning,
[G]thunder were desir[C]e
[G]This old house would have bur[C]nt down
a [D]long time a[G]go[C]

[Chorus 1]
[G]Make me an ang[F]el
that [C]flies from Montgom[G]ery[C]
[G]Make me a pos[F]ter
of an [C]old [G]rodeo[C]
[G]Just give me one[F] thing
that [C]I can hold on t[G]o[C]
[G]To believe in this liv[C]ing
is just a [D]hard way to [G]go[C][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]When I was a young gir[C]l,
[G]well, I had me a cow[C]boy
[G]He weren't much to loo[C]k at,
just a [D]free rambling [G]man[C]
[G]But that was a lon[C]g time
[G]and no matter how I t[C]ry
[G]The years just flo[C]w by
like a [D]broken down [G]dam[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]There's flies in the kitchen[C]
[G]I can hear 'em there buz[C]zing
[G]And I ain't done not[C]hing
since I [D]woke up to[G]day[C]
[G]How the hell can a per[C]son
[G]go to work in the mor[C]ning
[G]And come home in the eve[C]ning
and have [D]nothing to [G]say?[C]

[Chorus 3]
[G]Make me an ang[F]el
that [C]flies from Montgom[G]ery[C]
[G]Make me a pos[F]ter
of an [C]old [G]rodeo
