Otis Redding – Try A Little Tenderness (Ukulele)

G    Em
 Oh, she may be weary;

Am                D7
 Them young girls, they do get weary,

G             F6              E7
 Wearing that same old shaggy dress.

Am                       D7
 But when she gets weary;

             G/B        Bb7, Am  Am/D
Try a little tenderness.

G          Em            Am       D7
 You know, she's waiting; just an-ticipating,

Gmaj7                  F6            E7
 The thing that she'll never, never, never, never posses, yeah, yeah.

Am                             D7
 But while she's there waiting, and without them,

             Gmaj7      C       G                 G7
Try a little tenderness, that's all you got to do.

C              B7
 It's not just sentimental, no, no, no;

Em           A7
 She has her griefs and cares.

C                    B7
 But the soft words; they are spoke so gentle, yeah,

A7                  Am7        D7
 It makes it easier, easier to bear.

G    Em
 You won't regret it, no, no;

Am                 D7
 Young girls, they, don't forget it;

G              F6          E7
 Love is their whole happi-ness.

Am                   D7
 But its all so easy;

                                       G/B
All you got to do is try, try a little tenderness yeah.

              E7
All you gotta, do is dance, and hold her where you want her.

Am           Bm
