Amanda

 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.)
