TENDER WHEN I WANT TO BE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5. Each chord is half a measure, except two chords
joined by a hyphen are a half-measure total.]
[In MCC`s 1995 tour, she performed a version of this song that was straight
rock `n` roll. That version had pretty much the same chords, except the
bridge (the part with I never would have known it...) used Dm Dm Em Em
rather than Dm7 G C C/E.]

C C F F G G C F - G

[intro]

C C
I have a heart that`s proud, you bet
F F
I have a mind that won`t forget
G G C F - G
That I have arms that are strong yet tender when they wanna be

C C
Well you can be the will that finds the way
F F
You can be the one who saves the day
G G C C
But show me tender when it`s time to say exactly how it oughta be

Dm7 G
And I never would`ve known it, darlin`
C C/E
If I hadn`t known about you
F F G G [stop]
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too

Well something happens when you find someone
Makes you feel like you can do no wrong
You don`t have to take the whole world on, just be tender when you wanna be

C C F F G G C F - G
Sha la la la laa laaa [instrumental]
C C F F G G C C
[baritone guitar solo]

And I never would`ve known it baby
If I hadn`t known about you
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too

So let the waters carry us away
Wave goodbye to the old parade
Baby, when we`re unafraid to be tender when we wanna be

All the waters wash our cares away
All that we can see are better days
Don`t ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be

C F - G C F - G
Sha la la la la laa laaa, sha la la la laa laaa
C F - G C C.
Sha la la la la laa laaa
