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 A E A
i Am an old woman named after my mother
E A Bm E
my old man is another child that’s grown old
E A E A
if dreams were thunder lightning was desire
E A Bm 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 D A 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 Bm 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 Bm 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 Bm 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 Bm E
and come home in the evening and have nothing to say?

( repeat chorus )
