rd Fret 



Intro: C  G  Dm  Am  G  C 


She never let her roots go brown 
                          G 
She kept moving them from town to town 
                            Dm 
Like she was running from a restless sound 
                           Am G 
That would use her name in vain 


              C 
Back then she was the one to know 
                          G 
We didn't like it, but we loved her so 
                       Dm 
It broke our hearts to let her go 
               Am  G 
As if we had a choice 
         C 
As if we had a choice 
             G 
Oh, as if we had a choice 
             Dm 
It broke our hearts to let her go 
               Am G F 
As if we had a choice 


                  C 
With far too many brows to soothe 
                  G 
There was just so much to prove 
                      Dm 
On occasion, with the ruthless move 
                    Am G 
And the smoking overpass 


             C 
Take it from one who tries 
                                G 
There's nothing friendly in the open skies 
                      Dm 
Nothing up there ever satisfies 
                    Am G 
The air is thin and cold 
    C 
The air is thin and cold 
                 G 
Yeah, the air is thin and cold 
                      Dm 
Nothing up there ever satisfies 
                    Am G F 
The air is thin and cold__ 


C 
Amber Lee 
                        G 
Back then we called her Amber Lee 
              Dm 
We all landed in her way 
                    Am G F       Em 
We called her Amber Lee___ 


Bridge: 
                              F 
Both a first and second wife 
                            Bb 
Unhappy almost all her life 
                                            A 
The pain is sharper with a dull-edged knife 
                           G 
And the rust will lock you in 


    C 
The highway is her habitat 
                         G 
She wouldn't cut it as a diplomat 
                        Dm 
She's not sorry that it came to that 
                     Am G  
But what's a girl to do__ 


     C 
They call her names, 'cause they think they can 
                              G 
You wouldn't hear them if she was a man 
                       Dm 
We're all flashes in a great big pan 
                           Am G 
And they're turning up the heat 
                C 
They're turning up the heat 
                      G 
Yeah, they're turning up the heat 
                       Dm 
We're all flashes in a great big pan 
                           Am G F 
And they're turning up the heat__ 


C 
Amber Lee 
                        G 
Back then we called her Amber Lee 
       Dm 
We all landed in her way 
                    Am G C 
We called her Amber Lee___
