[Verse 1]
Am D
She was not the girl next door
G C
But the girl from 'round the corner
Am D
It was at the tail end of grade four
G C
When she came to school one morning
C D G G/F# Em
And 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]
Am D
Springtime and dandelions
G C
And summer 'round the corner
Am D
Was at the tail end of age nine
G C
With a million dreams before her
C D G G/F# Em
She lived with her mother in an old decrepit house
C D G G/F# Em
If there was trouble at home she kept it to herself
C D G
All summer long, the strawberry blonde
[Chorus]
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
But the neighbours said
C G
Her mother had lost her will
C G
To gin and sleeping pills
D G
It was no life for a little girl
[Solo]

[Chorus]
Em Bm C G
Still I see her face framed in blue sky
C G D B7
At the top of a slide coming down
Em Bm
And when the sirens wailed
C G
Her mother had failed to rise
C G
All the neighbours stood outside
D G
As Amanda just stared at the ground
[Verse 3]
Am D
Time flies and years are piled
G C
I'd forgotten all about her
Am D
When I saw her down the aisle
G C
Of a streetcar with her daughter
C D G G/F# Em
Then I heard Amanda say as she got up
C D G G/F# Em
"C'mon, Samantha, girl, this is our stop"
C D C
And they were gone,
D G Gadd2 G
Two strawberry blondes
