[Intro]
A  E  A
 
[Verse 1]
      A                   D               A
I've held it all inward, Lord 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 your shoulders and the age in your 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
 
 
[Instrumental]
A  D  A
A  E  A
 
 
[Verse 2]
        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
Now I'm crowding 30 and 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
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife
 
 
[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   E7 A
Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife

When I was a kid I used to love this song. So much that when I had children of my own I named my first born daughter Amanda. I've always told her that if it weren't for this song she could have named who knows what. I'm 59 now. This is in fact a very real part of my life. Thanks for chart.

...not a correction, just a tip for those who want to match the key of the recording. The recording is in the key of G#, so put the capo on the 4th fret and play an [E] chord-shape as the I chord, an [A] chord-shape as the IV chord and [B] chord-shape as the V chord.
