There are so many versions...I like this one with the B7
EI am an old Awoman Enamed after my Amother
EMy old man is Aanother cB7hild that's Egrown old
EIf dreams were tAhunder lEightning was desiAre
EThis old house would have bAurnt down a lB7ong time Eago
Chorus:
EMake me an aDngel that flAies from Emontgomery
EMake me a pDoster of an oAld rEodeo
EJust give me oDne thing that AI can hold Eon to
ETo believe in this lAiving is just a B7hard way to Ego
Verse 2:
EWhen I was a yAoung girl well, I hEad me a cAowboy
EHe weren't much to lAook at, just fB7ree rambling mEan
EBut that was a long tAime and Eno matter how AI try
EThe years just fAlow by like a bB7roken down dEam.
(Repeat chorus/interlude)
Verse 3:
EThere's flies in the kAitchen I can hEear 'em there bAuzzing
EAnd I ain't done nAothing since I wB7oke up tEoday.
EHow the hell can a pAerson Ego to work in the Amorning
ECome home in the Aevening and have B7nothing to Esay?
(Repeat chorus)
