Lyrics

(G)Oh, she may be (Em)wea ry,

and young (D7)girls, they do get wea ry; wear ing the (Dm)same shab by (E7)dress.

But when she gets wea ry

try a lit tle ten der (G)ness.

You know she’s (Em)wait ing,

just an (D7)tic i pat ing

things (Dm)that she’ll nev er, nev er, (E7)nev er, nev er pos sess.

But while she’s there wait ing, and with out them, is try

a lit tle (G)ten der ness.

It’s not

(B7)just

sen ti men tal, no;

she has

her grief and care.

But for soft words

(Bm)we all spoke so gen tle, yeah,

it makes it eas i er,

eas i er to (D7)bear.

(G)ten der ness.
