Chords

[Intro]
Bb              A7
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no;

Dm           G7
She has her griefs and cares.

Bb                    A7
But the soft words; they are spoke so gentle, yeah,

G7                  Gm7        C7
It makes it easier, easier to bear.
[Verse 1]
F    Dm
Oh, she may be weary;

Gm                C7
Them young girls, they do get weary,

F             Eb6              D7
Wearing that same old shaggy dress.

Gm                       C7
But when she gets weary;

               F/A        Bb7  Gm  Gm/C
Try a little tenderness.
[Verse 2]
F          Dm            Gm       C7
You know, she's waiting; just an-ticipating,

Fmaj7                  Eb6            D7
The thing that she'll never, never, never, never posses, yeah, yeah.

Gm                             C7
But while she's there waiting, and without them,

               Fmaj7      Bb       F                 F7
Try a little tenderness, that's all you got to do.

You won't regret it, no, no;
