       AMANDA         Waylon Jennings

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

lead
A                         D               A
It's a meausre of people who don't understand
(A)                         E          A
The pleasures of life in a hill billy band
(A)                    E             A
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
(A)                    E             A  
Now I've over 30 and still wearing jeans

Chorus
