David Allan Coe - Amanda
D G D
I've held it all in me , God knows I've tried
A D
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
G D
To stare in the mirror, in total surprise
A D
At this hair on my collar and this age in my eyes.
[Chorus]
D G D
Amanda, light of my life
A D
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
G D
Amanda, light of my life
A D
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
D A
And I?ve got, a couple more, years on you babe and that?s all
D
I?ve had more chances to fly, and more chances to fall
A
I never learned how to run, but I learned how to crawl
D
And I?ve got a couple more years on you babe and that?s all.
D G D
There?s a measure of people, that don't understand
A D
The pleasures of life in a country rock band
G D
I got my first guitar, when I was thirteen
A G
Now I?m 62 years old, and I?m still pretty mean.
[Chorus]
D G D
Amanda, light of my life
A D
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
G D
Amanda, light of my life
A D
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
