Angel From Montgomery
Bonnie Raitt version
Capo on 2nd fret
[Intro]| x2 | x 2
[Verse]
I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that s grown old
If dreams were lightning and thunder desire
This old house would ve burnt down a long time ago
[Chorus]
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
[Verse]
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
Wasn t much to look at, just a free ramblin man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
These dreams go back like a broken-down dam
Repeat Chorus:
Solo: Like the Verses
[Verse]
There s flies in the kitchen, I can hear them a-buzzin
But I ain t done nothin since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
Come home in the evenin , they got nothin to say
Repeat Chorus:
After playing the last chorus, end with:
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
