There are so many versions...I like this one with the B7
E A E A
I am an old woman named after my mother
E A B7 E
My old man is another child that's grown old
E A E A
If dreams were thunder lightning was desire
E A B7 E
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Chorus:
E D A E
Make me an angel that flies from montgomery
E D A E
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
E D A E
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
E A B7 E
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
Verse 2:
E A E A
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
E A B7 E
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
E A E A
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
E A B7 E
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
(Repeat chorus/interlude)
Verse 3:
E A E A
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
E A B7 E
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
E A E A
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
E A B7 E
Come home in the evening and have nothing to say?
(Repeat chorus)
