Here's a version in G. You can use the same strumming pattern as Art&Lutherie states, the only real difference is that you don't need a Capo.Angel from Montgomery
Keb' Mo' & Dave Matthews
Intro:| G C X 3 | G C D G | G C X 3 | G C D G |
G C G C
I am an old woman named after my mother,
G C G C D
My old man is another child that's grown old.
G C G C
If dreams were lightning and thunder desire,
G C G C D
This old house would've burnt down a long time ago.
Chorus:
G F C G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
G F C G
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
G F C G
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
G F C G
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy,
It wa'n't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man.
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try,
These dreams seem to go by like a broken-down dam.
Repeat Chorus:
Flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'
Lord I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
How the hell kind of person goes to work in the morning
That come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say.
Repeat Chorus:
G F C G
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
G F C G
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
G F C G
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
G F C G
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go,
G F C G
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go,
G F C G
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
Thanks also
Ive just heard Ben Harper's version and he has a cool fill where he plays the melody line, (Is that the words?), does anyone have a tab for that?
