Try A Little Tenderness

 
              A           F#m      D9          E7 
She may be weary -- women do get weary 
 
 A         C#m7/5-        F#7   
Wearing the same shabby dress. 
 
D9             E7/6   E7 D9    Bm7/5-  Cdim  E7     A   F#m D9 Dm6  E7 
And when she's wear - y, try a little ten - der - ness. 
 
 
A             F#m       D9       Dm6       Cdim  E7 
You know she's waiting, just an - ti - ci - pa - ting 
 
A             C#m7/5-    F#7  Gdim  F#7 
Things she may never possess; 
 
Bm           Bm/A         D9    Bm7/5-  Cdim  E7     A   D9 Bbm7 A A7 
While she's without them, try a little ten - der - ness. 
 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
     D       Fdim        C#7 
It's not just sen - ti - men - tal, 
 
F#m         Bm7       F#m 
She has her grief and care, 
 
       D          Cdim      F#7 
And a word that's soft and gentle, 
 
         B7       Cdim B7  E7 
Makes it ea - si - er  to bear. 
 
 
A   G#m     F#m         D9    Dm6       Cdim Bb9 
You won't regret it -- women don't for - get it; 
 
A   Cdim     C#m7/5- Bm7/5-       F#7  Gdim  F#7 
Love is their whole  hap - pi - ness. 
 
Bm  Bm7/5-   E7/6 E7    D9    Bm7/5-  Cdim  E7     A   D9 Bbm7 A6 
It's all so ea - sy -- try a little ten - der - ness.
