Amber Lee chords

CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: [C] [G] [Dm] [Am] [G] [C]

She never let her roots go brown
She kept moving them from [G]town to town
Like she was running from a [Dm]restless sound
That would use her name in [Am]vai[G]n

Back then she [C]was the one to know
We didn't like it, but we [G]loved her so
It broke our hearts to [Dm]let her go
As if we had a [Am]choi[G]ce
As if we [C]had a choice
Oh, as if we [G]had a choice
It broke our [Dm]hearts to let her go
As if we had a [Am]cho[G]ic[F]e

With far too many [C]brows to soothe
There was just so [G]much to prove
On occasion, with the [Dm]ruthless move
And the smoking over[Am]pas[G]s

Take it from [C]one who tries
There's nothing friendly in the [G]open skies
Nothing up there ever [Dm]satisfies
The air is thin and [Am]col[G]d
The [C]air is thin and cold
Yeah, the air is [G]thin and cold
Nothing up there ever [Dm]satisfies
The air is thin and [Am]col[G]d_[F]_

[C]Amber Lee
Back then we called her [G]Amber Lee
We all landed [Dm]in her way
We called her Amber [Am]Lee[G]__[F]_ [Em]

[BRIDGE]
Both a first and second wife [F]
Unhappy almost all her life [Bb]
The pain is sharper with a dull-edged knife [A]
And the rust will lock you [G]in

The [C]highway is her habitat
She wouldn't cut it as a [G]diplomat
She's not sorry that it [Dm]came to that
But what's a girl to [Am]do_[G]_

They [C]call her names, 'cause they think they can
You wouldn't hear them if she [G]was a man
We're all flashes in a [Dm]great big pan
And they're turning up the [Am]hea[G]t
They're turning [C]up the heat
Yeah, they're turning [G]up the heat
We're all flashes in a [Dm]great big pan
And they're turning up the [Am]hea[G]t_[F]_

[C]Amber Lee
Back then we called her [G]Amber Lee
We all [Dm]landed in her way
We called her Amber [Am]Lee[G]__[C]_

OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end, humming ad lib ##)
