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___
