I've held it all in-ward, 
 -5  4 -3*   -3*  4 -3   
Lord knows, I've tried,
 -3  4  4   4  4 -3 3  -2 
It's an aw-ful a-wak-‘ning 
-2 -2  3  -2  -3 3  3*-3
in a coun-try boy's life,
4    4  -6 5 5  5-3-2  -2 -5  4  -3* 4-3-2 
To look in the mir-ror in to-tal sur-prise.
-3 -3*   4  4   -5   -3 3  -2 
At the hair on your shoul-ders 
-2  -2   3  -3  3  2 -2
and the age in your eyes. 

4-3 4-33 -33-2  -5   4 -3*4-3* 4-3 
A-  man-   da, light of  my   life.

Fate should have made you 
-2 3  -2    3   -3-2
a gen-tle-man's wife.
5 5-6 -6-55  -5   4 -3*4-3* 43*-3

 4    4   4 -5 4  -3 -3 3 -2
Well the meas-ure of peo-ple 
 -5   4-3*-3* 4 -3
don't un-der-stand,
 4    4    4   4 -33-2
The pleas-ures of life 
-2-2  3   -2 -33 3*-3
in a hill-bil-ly band.
4  4  4   -6  4 4 4-3-2 -2 -5  4  -3*  4-3-2
I got my first gui-tar when I was four-teen, 
-3-3* 4   4   -5   -3 3-2
Now I'm crowd-ing thir-ty, 
-2-2  3    -3 3  2   -2
And still wear-ing jeans.

4-3 4-33 -33-2  -5   4 -3*4-3* 4-3 
A-  man-   da, light of  my   life.
