Amanda chords by Chris Stapleton

[Verse]
     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]
     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
Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans.

[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
