DGD
I've held it all in me , God knows I've tried
AD
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
GD
To stare in the mirror, in total surprise
AD
At this hair on my collar and this age in my eyes.
Chorus:
DGD
Amanda, light of my life
AD
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
GD
Amanda, light of my life
AD
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife.
DA
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.
DGD
There’s a measure of people, that don't understand
AD
The pleasures of life in a country rock band
GD
I got my first guitar, when I was thirteen
AG
Now I’m 62 years old, and I’m still pretty mean.
