D                     Cadd9
I am an angel of Montgomery
G                           D
Just a few miles from the town I grew up in
D                     Cadd9
And I can see my father’s face
G                         D
In the clouds that drift across the sky

D                      Cadd9
I’m tired of being alone
G                          D
And I long for the days when I was young
D                     Cadd9
With my mother’s arms around me
G                               D
And my father’s words still ringing in my ears

D                    Cadd9
So I sit here in the quiet
G                             D
And I long for the life that I once knew
D                     Cadd9
With the sun shining on my face
G                             D
And the world so bright and new

D                     Cadd9
Oh, the angel of Montgomery
G                          D
She’s been watching over me
D                     Cadd9
And I know that I am never alone
G                          D
For she will always be my home
