[C] [G]
[C] [Em] [D] [G]
[Am] [G] I am an [C] old woman [Am] [G] named [B] after [C] my mother.
[G] My old [C]
man is another [D] child that's grown [G] old.
If dreams [C] were lightning and [G] thunder [B]
were [C] desire,
[Am] [G] this old [C] house would have burnt down [D] a long time [G] ago.
Make me [F] a lame up [C] the clouds from [G] Montgomery.
Make me [F] a poster [Em] of an old [C] [G]
rodeo.
Just [F] give me one thing [C] that I can hold [G] on to.
We believe [C] in this living.
It ain't [Bm] just a hard [G] way to go.
When I was a [C] young girl, I [G] had [Am] me a cowboy.
[G] He weren't much [C] to look at, [D] just a free [G] rambling man.
[C] [G] But that [C] was a long time.
[G] And no matter [C] how I tried, [G] the years [C] just flowed by
[D] like a broken [G] down van.
Make me [F] a lame [C] that flies from [G] Montgomery.
Make [F] me a poster [C] of an old [G]
rodeo.

It's [D] just a hard way [G] to go.
[G] There's flies in the [Am] kitchen.
[G] I can hear [C] them all buzzing.
[G] And I [C] ain't done nothing [D] since I woke [C] up [G] today.
[Am] [G] But how I'd hate to [C] go [Am] to [G] work [C] in the morning
[Am] and [G] come [C] home in the evening.
[Am] [D] Damn, nothing [G] ain't right.
Make me a [F] lame [C] that flies from [G] Montgomery.
Make me a [F] poster [Em] of an old [G] rodeo.
Just give [F] me one thing [C] that I can [G] hold on to.
We [C] believe in this living.
It's just a [D] hard way [Em] [G] to go.
