[G]I am an old wo[C]man n[G]amed after my mo[C]ther
My [G]old man is an[C]other ch[D7]ild that's grown o[G]ld   [C]   [G]
[G]If dreams were lig[C]htning th[G]under was de[C]sire
[G]This old house would have bu[C]rnt down a l[D7]ong time a[G]go[C]

{ci:Chorus:}
{soc:}
[G]Make me an a[F]ngel that f[C]lies from Mon[G]tgom'ry
Make me a po[F]ster of an [D7]old rod[G]eo[C]
[G]Just give me [F]one thing that [C]I can hold on [G]to
To believe in this li[C]ving is just a hard [D7]way to [G]go   [C]   [G]   [C]   [G]
{eoc:}

[G]When I was a young g[C]irl well, [G]I had me a co[C]wboy
[G]He weren't much to l[C]ook at, just free rambling [G]man  [C]   [G]
[G]But that was a lo[C]ng time a[G]nd no matter how I t[C]ry
[G]The years just f[C]low by like a br[D7]oken down d[G]am.[C]  [G]

{ci:Repeat Chorus:}

[G]There's flies in the ki[C]tchen [G]I can hear 'em there buz[C]zing
[G]And I ain't done no[C]thing since I [D7]woke up to[G]day.   [C]   [G]
[G]How the hell can a p[C]erson [G]go to work in the mo[C]rning
[G]And come home in the ev[C]ening and have not[D7]hing to s[G]ay.   [C]   [G]

{ci:Repeat Chorus:}

{ci:Ending:}
  [G]     [C]     [G]      [C] ( Repeat and fade)
