Angel From Montgomery Chords & Lyrics by John Prine
Angel From Montgomery
guitar chords lyrics
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)
