Steve Hofmeyr - Amanda Chords

[Verse]
     E                   A               E
I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried
        E                    B             E
It's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
   E                     A        E
To look in the mirror in total surprise
       E                            B         E
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 E      A           E
Amanda, light of my life
E                           B           E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
 E      A           E
Amanda, light of my life
E                           B           E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
 
 
[Verse]
       E                     A          E
It's a measure of people who don't understand
    E                      B         E
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
  E                        A         E
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
       E                         B             E
Well I finally made forty, still wearing these jeans
 
 
[Chorus]
 E      A           E
Amanda, light of my life
E                           B           E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
 E      A           E
Amanda, light of my life
E                           B           E
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
