G C G CI am an old woman named after my mother.G C D GMy old man is another child that's grown old. C G CIf dreams were thunder and lightning was desireG C This old house would've burnt down D GA long time ago.

CHORUS

G F C GMake me an angel that flies from Montgomery.F C GMake me a poster of an old rodeo. F C GJust give me one thing that I can hold on to. F C G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.

G C G CWhen I was a young girl I had me a cowboy,G C D GWasn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man.G C G CBut that was a long time, and no matter how I try,G C D GThe years just flow by like a broken-down dam.

CHORUS

G F C GMake me an angel that flies from Montgomery.F C GMake me a poster of an old rodeo. F C GJust give me one thing that I can hold on to. F C G To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
