Guitar Chords Angel From Montgomery

Welcome to my Angel From Montgomery chord chart by John Prine. Very cool song and I particularly like the Bonnie Raitt version which is the one I’m going to chart here because there are no barre chords. The John Prine version is done in the Key of C, not A. Now you can get fancy with this song if you want to throw in hammer-ons, bass runs and whatever, or you can simply strum like we are going to do right here. The chords are easy enough A, D & E.

Notice how in the verses we are going to hold the second chord for a full measure to give this song some space.

   E                    A             E                               A I am an old woman named after my mother.
