Amanda by Don Williams If u guyz wanna impress sombody, tell 'em ur gonna play "Amanda" by Don Williams. They'll, of course, assume it's only chords, cause tht's how Williams plays it. However, I've written a tab! This is in Bb so to avoid those trick Bb positions, move ur capo up to the 3rd Fret. If ya don't got a capo, ask me and I'll transpose it to Bb. (I'll also give u the chord positions, so if prefer rhythm over lead, or if u want a friend to join in!) (Remember underscore ,_____, means hold the note/word longer.)
