  VERSE 1:

  Am               D

   She was not the girl next door

           G                    C

   But the girl from 'round the corner

  Am                 D

   S'at the tail end of grade four

            G                  C

   When she came to school one morning

  C               D      G       G/F#     Em

   All eyes were upon her as she took her seat

  C              D     G            G/F#    Em

   Her name was Amanda, with pretty eyes of green

               C     D            G

   And hair of blonde, strawberry blonde

  

  

  VERSE 2:

   Springtime and dandelions

   And summer 'round the corner

   At the tail end of age nine

   With a million dreams before her

   She lived with her mother in an old decrepit house

   If there was trouble at home she kept it to herself

   All summer long, the strawberry blonde

  

  

  CHORUS 1:

  Em          Bm  C             G

   And by her face there was no way to tell

  C               G           D             B7

   It seemed like all was well in her world

  Em                  Bm  C              G

   But the neighbours said her mother had lost her will

  C           G

   To gin and sleeping pills

      D                        G

   It was no life for a little girl

  

  

  SOLO: (pick melody out from within chords)

  CHORUS 2:

   Still I see her face framed in blue sky

   At the top of a slide coming down

   And when the sirens wailed her mother had failed to rise

   All the neighbours stood outside

   As Amanda just stared at the ground

  

  

  VERSE 3:

   Time flies and years are piled

   I'd forgotten all about her

   When I saw her down the aisle

   Of a streetcar with her daughter

   Then I heard Amanda say as she got up

   "C'mon Samantha, girl this is our stop"

                 C    D   C

   And they were gone,

  D               G    Gadd2 G

   Two strawberry blondes
