Angel From Montgomery John Prine
Standalone, this song is pretty easy and repetitive. But make
it your own style by filling up space between the words by
plucking strings in different patterns of your choice throughout
the song. I stole these lyrics from another site so they're
probably not right but... enjoy!
Verse 1:
[E]I am an old [A]woman na[E]med after my mo[A]ther
[E]My old man is an[A]other chi[Bm]ld that's grown o[E]ld
[E]If dreams were t[A]hunder l[E]ightning was desi[A]re
[E]This old house would have b[A]urnt down a l[Bm]ong time ag[E]o
Chorus:
[E]Make me an a[D]ngel that fl[A]ies from montg[E]omery
[E]Make me a p[D]oster of an o[A]ld rode[E]o
[E]Just give me o[D]ne thing that [A]I can hold [E]on to
[E]To believe in this l[D]iving is just a h[A]ard way to [E]go
Verse 2:
[E]When I was a y[A]oung girl well, I h[E]ad me a c[A]owboy
[E]He weren't much to l[A]ook at, just f[Bm]ree rambling m[E]an
[E]But that was a long t[A]ime and [E]no matter how [A]I try
[E]The years just f[A]low by like a b[Bm]roken down d[E]am.
(Repeat chorus/interlude)
Verse 3:
[E]There's flies in the k[A]itchen I can h[E]ear 'em there b[A]uzzing
[E]And I ain't done n[A]othing since I w[Bm]oke up t[E]oday.
[E]How the hell can a p[A]erson [E]go to work in the [A]morning
[E]And come home in the e[A]vening and have n[Bm]othing to s[E]ay?
(Repeat chorus)
