G0           C1       G2              C3
1I am an old woman named after my mother
G4               C5        D6               G7
2My old man is another child that's grown old
G8              C9       G10                C11
3If dreams were thunder lightning was desire
G12                          C13            D14         G15
4This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

6Chorus:
G16           F17           C18             G19
7Make me an angel that flies from montgomery
G20          F21            C22      G23
8Make me a poster of an old rodeo
G24             F25             C26          G27
9Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
G28                   F29                D30          G31
10To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

G32             C33                  G34        C35
13When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
G36                   C37             D38            G39
14He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
G40                   C41        G42             C43
15But that was a long time and no matter how I try
G44               C45              D46          G47
16The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

18Chorus:
G48           F49           C50             G51

20Make me a poster of an old rodeo
G56             F57             C58          G59
21Just give me one thing that I can hold on to

G64                     C65             G66              C67
25There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
G68                 C69               D70      G71
26And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
G72                   C73     G74                 C75
27How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
G76                     C77                D78         G79
28And come home in the evening and have nothing to say?
