[Verse 1]
D           G     D              G
I am an old woman named after my mother
D             G       A                  D
My old man is another child that’s grown old
D              G       D             G
If dreams were thunder lightning was desire
D                         G            A          D
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
 
 
[Chorus]
D          C          G              D
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
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                G           D
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
 
 
[Instrumental]
D    G    D    G    D    G    A    D
 
 
[Verse 2]
D            G          D                G
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
D                 G             A             D
He wasn’t much to look at, just free rambling man
D                   G         D             G
But that was such a long time and no matter how I try
D              G              A           D
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
 
 
[Chorus]
D          C          G              D
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
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                G           D
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
 
 
[Instrumental]
D    G    D    G    D    G    A    D
D    G    D    G    D    G    A    D
D    C    G    D    D    C    G    D
D    C    G    D    D    C    G    D
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                    G       D              G
There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear all their buzzing
D                G               A       D
And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today.
D            G            D                 G
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
D                    G                A          D
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.
 
 
[Chorus]
D          C          G              D
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
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                G           D

Tedeschi Trucks Band's is a fantastic version, thanks a ton for this. She likes to hammer off a Dsus4, and during the instrumental break she does the G on the 3rd fret, which introduces some nice possibilities. They also sometimes add some lines at the end from the Grateful Dead's Sugaree, which scan beautifully: When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon 'round When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down Just one thing I ask of you, Just one thing for me Please forget you knew my name, my darling Sugaree Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me. To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.

Awesome chords. I love this song.

Bravo! Great job. Thanks
