[N] [A]
I've held it all in, [D] God knows I've [A] tried
It's an awful way [E] to see a country boy's [A] life
Look in the mirror [D] in total [A] surprise
At the hair on my shoulders, [E] the age in [A] my eyes
Amanda, [D] light [A] of my life
Fate should have made you [E] a [A] gentleman's wife
Amanda, [D] light of [A] my life
Fate should have made [E] you a [A] gentleman's wife

[E]
[A] It's a measure of people [D] who don't [A] understand
The pleasures of life, [E] yet he'll be [A] laid back
I got my first guitar [D] when I was [A] fourteen
Well, I finally [E] made forty, still [A] wearing jeans
Amanda, [D] light of [A] my life
Fate should have made you [E] a [A] gentleman's wife
Amanda, [D] light of [A] my life
Fate should have made [E] you a
