VERSE
It's an awful awakenin' in a country boy's life
to look in the mirror in total surprise
at the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes.
CHORUS
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife.
| D | A | E | A |
| E | A |
VERSE
Well a measure of people don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band.
I got my first guitar when I was 14.
Now I'm crowin' 30 and still wearing jeans.
CHORUS
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife.
Amanda, light of my life.
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife.
