Official DAVE MATTHEWS BAND Tablature & Sheet Music »
Dave Matthews (& Tim Reynolds)
Angel From Montgomery (written by John Prine)
Very fun and easy song to play. Even if you've never heard it you'll get it right by following this "tab".
Dave always said it was one of his favorites.
Intro:| G C x2 | G C D G x 2
Verse 1
G C G C
I am an old woman named after my mother
G C D G
My old man is another child that's grown old
G C G C
If dreams were lightning and thunder desire
G C D G
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
Verse 2
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy
Wasn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time, and no matter how I try
These dreams go back like a broken-down dam
Repeat Chorus:
Solo: Like the Verses, I strum it a little choppy to keep it interesting
Verse 3
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear them a-buzzin'
But I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
Come home in the evenin', they got 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 (directly into outro)
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
Outro:| G C x2 | G C D G
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DAVE MATTHEWS BAND tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
