Amanda chords by Chris Stapleton

[Verse]
   A          D     A
I’ve held it all inward, God knows, I’ve tried,
   A           E     A
But it’s an awful awakening in a country boy’s life,
   A        D     A
To look in the mirror in total surprise.
   A              E     A
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.

[Chorus]
A    D      A
Amanda, light of my life.
   A           E     A
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.
A    D      A
Amanda, light of my life.
   A           E     A
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.

[Verse]
   A          D     A
It’s a measure of people who don’t understand,
   A           E     A
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.
   A          D     A
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen,
   A           E     A
Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans.

[Chorus]
A    D      A
Amanda, light of my life.
   A           E     A
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.
A    D      A
Amanda, light of my life.
   A           E     A
