VERSE 1:
Am DShe was not the girl next door
But the girl from 'round the corner
Am DS'at the tail end of grade four
G CWhen she came to school one morning
All eyes were upon her as she took her seat
C D G G/F# EmHer name was Amanda, with pretty eyes of green
C D GAnd 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 1Em Bm C G
And by her face there was no way to tell
C G D B7It seemed like all was well in her world
But the neighbours said her mother had lost her will
C GTo gin and sleeping pills
D GIt was no life for a little girl

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 CAnd they were gone,
D G Gadd2 GTwo strawberry blondes
