[Verse 1]
[D]She[A] wa[D]s n[Em]ot the girl next [A]door
But the [D]girl from around the [G]corner[Em]
At the tail end [A]of grade four
When she [D]came to school one morn[G]ing

[Verse 2]
All eyes were [A]upon [D]her as she
[A]took her [Bm]seat[G]
Her name was [A]Amanda,
[D]pretty eye[A]s of gre[Bm]en
Hair of [G]blonde,
[A]strawberry blonde
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Springtime and [A]dandelions
And [D]summer 'round the [G]corner[Em]
At the tail end [A]of age nine
With [D]a million dreams [G]before her

[Verse 4]
She lived with her [A]mother,
[D]old decre[A]pit hou[Bm]se[G]
If there was [A]trouble at home,
[D]she kept it to [A]herself
[Bm]All summer long,[Em]
[G]str[A]awberry blonde
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
And by her [F#m]face t[G]here was
[D]no way [G]to tell
Seemed that [D]all was well
[A]in her [F#]world[Bm]
But the neighbors [F#m]said[G]
Her mother [D]had lost her [G]will
To gin and [D]sleeping pills
[A]It was no life for a little girl

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][A][D][G][Em][A]
[D]
[G][A][D][A][Bm][G][A]
[D][A][Bm][G][A][D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Still I see her face[F#m] frame[G]d
in [D]a blue s[G]ky
At the top [D]of a slide [A]coming [F#]down[Bm]
And when [F#m]the sirens [G]wailed
Her mother [D]had failed to [G]rise
All the neighbors [D]stood outside
As [A]Amanda just stared at the ground
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
Time flies, and [A]years are piled
I'd for[D]gotten all [G]about [Em]her
When I saw her [A]down the aisle
Of [D]a streetcar with her daugh[G]ter

[Verse 8]
Then I heard [A]Amanda [D]say as
[A]she got [Bm]up[G]
C'mon Sam[A]antha, [D]girl,
this [A]is our [Bm]stop
And they were [Em]gone,
[G]two[A] strawberry blondes
[D]
