Amanda

A

[Verse 1]

     A                   D              A
I've held it all inward, God knows I've tried
            A                    E             A
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
   A                     D        A
To look in the mirror in total surprise
       A                            E         A
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.

[Chorus]

 A      D           A
Amanda, light of my life
A                           E           A
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
 A      D           A
Amanda, light of my life
A                           E           A
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

[Verse 2]

     A                   D         A
It's a measure of people who don't understand
       A                    E        A
The pleasures of life in a Hillbilly band
 A                         D          A
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
    A                        E                A
Now I've finally made forty and still wearin' jeans
