Amanda Chords & Lyrics - David Allan Coe

I've [D]held it all in me , [G]God knows I've [D]tried
But it's an awful awakening in a [A]country boy's [D]life
To stare in the mirror, in [G]total sur[D]prise
At this hair on my collar and this [A]age in my [D]eyes.

[CHORUS]
[D]Amanda, [G]light of my [D]life
Fate should have made you a [A]gentleman's [D]wife
Amanda, [G]light of my [D]life
Fate should have made you a [A]gentleman's [D]wife.

And [D]I?ve got, a couple more, years on you babe and that?s all [A]
I?ve had more chances to fly, and more chances to [D]fall
I never learned how to run, but I learned how to [A]crawl
And I?ve got a couple more years on you babe and that?s [D]all.

[D]There?s a measure of people, that [G]don't under[D]stand
The pleasures of life in a [A]country rock [D]band
I got my first guitar, when [G]I was thir[D]teen
Now I?m 62 years old, and I?m [A]still pretty [G]mean.

[CHORUS]
[D]Amanda, [G]light of my [D]life
Fate should have made you a [A]gentleman's [D]wife
Amanda, [G]light of my [D]life
Fate should have made you a [A]gentleman's [D]wife.
