Very long Instrumental opening - at guitar version of riff:

       Em         D                             
I see Amanda in a silver world  
C                 C 
Sending vibes and super flashes 
 Em             D  
Amanda likes to see the world  
        C                 C 
Through sea blue eyes and orange glasses 
G                 A             C             G 
. Mad hatters and love sonnets, . the flighty dreams we read 
G           A               C                  G 
. Back to a perfect planet, . planted with the sweetest seed  
        D               C 
For the human breed, ah ha ha (ha ha) 

       Em         D   
I see Amanda in a silver world  
C                 C 
Weaving poems and stealing rhymes 
 Em          D   
Amanda had a mystic touch  
     C              C 
That make illusions shape and shine 
G         A                 C                  G 
Nostalgia packages from the nineteen fifties - sixties shops 
G            A             C            G 
Dion and the Belmonts era, . and Sunday high school hops 
   D               C 
Oh what a flop, ah ha ha (ha ha)

     C                   C 
With wings in flight and heels on fire 
 Em          D       
Amanda, when look back, girl, 

       C               C 
You'll find new life a little higher 
G                 A             C             G 
. Mad hatters and love sonnets, . the flighty dreams we read

. Back to a perfect planet, . planted with the sweetest seed

Note: In the recording I have, the whole song is a little sharp. If 
you play along with the recording on a guitar tuned with a digital 
tuner you'll find the chords in the chart just a little low. If you 
play the song a half step higher you'll find the half step is too 
high. 

I suspect that the record's producers wanted a little more energy 
from the track, and so sped it up just a little. Speeding up the 
track would also make it just a little bit higher in pitch. This was 
not an unusual practice when the track was recorded in 1973. 

To test my theory I used iRehearse, which is a digital phrase trainer 
that allows you to change the pitch and/or tempo of digital sound 
files. (It's a great rehearsal tool.) 

By lowering the pitch about 1/4 semi-tone (aka -30 "cents") I was 
able to bring the recording back into perfect tune.
