David Allan Coe - Amanda

   D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD
I've held it all in me , God knows I've tried
                 A augmentedA       D MajorD
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
              G+G    D MajorD
To stare in the mirror, in total surprise
                  A augmentedA     D MajorD
At this hair on my collar and this age in my eyes.

Chorus:
D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD
Amanda, light of my life
              A augmentedA      D MajorD
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
    G+G      D MajorD
Amanda, light of my life
              A augmentedA      D MajorD
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.

  D MajorD                             A augmentedA
And I?ve got, a couple more, years on you babe and that?s all
                         D MajorD
I?ve had more chances to fly, and more chances to fall
                         A augmentedA
I never learned how to run, but I learned how to crawl
                            D MajorD
And I?ve got a couple more years on you babe and that?s all.

D MajorD                 G+G     D MajorD
There?s a measure of people, that don't understand
              A augmentedA      D MajorD
The pleasures of life in a country rock band
              G+G     D MajorD
I got my first guitar, when I was thirteen
               A augmentedA      G+G
Now I?m 62 years old, and I?m still pretty mean.

Chorus:
D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD
Amanda, light of my life
              A augmentedA      D MajorD
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
    G+G      D MajorD
Amanda, light of my life
              A augmentedA      D MajorD
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
