Angel From Montgomery
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
               C        G                   C
If dreams were lightning and thunder was desire
G                       C            D          G
  This old house woulda burnt down a long time ago

           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

G              C         G           C
  When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
G                         C          D             G
  He weren't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
                 C       G                  C
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
G                C              D           G
  The years just flow by like a broken-down dam

Refrain

G                         C    G                     C
  There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzin'
G                  C               D           G
  But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today
                   C     G                     C
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
G                     C             D          G
  Come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say
