Bonnie Raitt plays it different than John Prine, here is how she plays it. I
can't figure out the chord in the last part of the chorus, so I just put a ?. I
just play it as a G but that's not what it is in the song. Enjoy!
Standard tuning, capo 2
Intro: D G D G
D G D G
I am an old woman named after my mother
D G C C
My old man is another child thats grown old
D G D G
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
D G C D
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Chorus:
D C G D
Make me an angel that flies from montgomry
D C G D
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
D C G D
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
D C ? D
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
(Repeat verses and chorus as before)
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He werent much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
Repeat chorus:
Theres flies in the kitchen I can hear em there buzzing
And I aint done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.
Repeat chorus
The ? should be A7.
In fact the C chords in the verse should be A7 also.
