AMANDA:  Waylon Jennings                                                               # 08 - 8

 

 

A                                     D                        A

I've held it all inward God knows I've tried

A                                           E                    A

But it's awful waiting 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

 

 

A                                                     D                A

It's a meausre 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'm over 30 and 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                  

Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
