(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

You know she’s (Em)wait ing,

just an (D7)tic i pat get ing

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

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

It’s not

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.
