Amanda Chords by Waylon Jennings

[Verse]
A                                             
■ I've held it all inward God knows I've tried
                                 E7            A   
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
               A7        D     A       
To look in the mirror in total surprise
                                    E      A  Esus4     
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my ■     eyes
A      D           A   
Amanda light of my life
                            E           A    Esus4
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife ■    


[Chorus]
A      D           A   
Amanda light of my life
                            E7          A   
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

[Verse]
       A                     D     A         
It's a measure of people who don't understand
                           E         A   
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
                      D          A       
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
                         E             A7   
Well now I'm over thirty still wearing jeans


[Chorus]
A        D               
■ Amanda light of my life
A                           E7          A   
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
       D           A   
Amanda light of my life
                            E7          E    E7 A A7
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife ■  ■ ■
