Amanda In A Silverworld
Kenny Young
From: Last Stage For Silverworld (1973)
Very long instrumental opening - at guitar version of riff:
| Em | D | C | C | Em | D | C | C |
Em D
I see Amanda in a silver world
C C
Sending vibes and super flashes
Em D
Amanda likes to see the world
C C
Through sea blue eyes and orange glasses
G A C G
. Mad hatters and love sonnets, . the flighty dreams we read
G A C G
. Back to a perfect planet, . planted with the sweetest seed
D C
For the human breed, ah ha ha (ha ha)
Em D
I see Amanda in a silver world
C C
Weaving poems and stealing rhymes
Em D
Amanda had a mystic touch
C C
That make illusions shape and shine
G A C G
Nostalgia packages from the nineteen fifties - sixties shops
G A C G
Dion and the Belmonts era, . and Sunday high school hops
D C
Oh what a flop, ah ha ha (ha ha)

Em D
I see Amanda in a silver world
C C
With wings in flight and heels on fire

Amanda, when look back, girl,
C C
You'll find new life a little higher
G A C G

Note: In the recording I have, the whole song is a little sharp. If
you play along with the recording on a guitar tuned with a digital
tuner you'll find the chords in the chart just a little low. If you
play the song a half step higher you'll find the half step is too
high.
I suspect that the record's producers wanted a little more energy
from the track, and so sped it up just a little. Speeding up the
track would also make it just a little bit higher in pitch. This was
not an unusual practice when the track was recorded in 1973.
To test my theory I used iRehearse, which is a digital phrase trainer
that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of digital sound
files. (It's a great rehearsal tool.)
By lowering the pitch about 1/4 semi-tone (aka -30 "cents") I was
able to bring the recording back into perfect tune.
