<br/> <br/> TENDER WHEN I WANT TO BE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)<br/> ------------------------------------------------<br/> [Actually in F; capo 5. Each chord is half a measure, except two chords<br/> joined by a hyphen are a half-measure total.]<br/> [In MCC's 1995 tour, she performed a version of this song that was straight<br/> rock 'n' roll. That version had pretty much the same chords, except the<br/> bridge (the part with "I never would have known it...") used Dm Dm Em Em<br/> rather than Dm7 G C C/E.]<br/> <br/> C C F F G G C F - G<br/> [intro]<br/> C C F F G G C - Csus C [stop]<br/> [intro]<br/> <br/> C C<br/> I have a heart that's proud, you bet<br/> F F<br/> I have a mind that won't forget<br/> G G C F - G<br/> That I have arms that are strong yet tender when they wanna be<br/> <br/> C C<br/> Well you can be the will that finds the way<br/> F F<br/> You can be the one who saves the day<br/> G G C C<br/> But show me tender when it's time to say exactly how it oughta be<br/> <br/> Dm7 G<br/> And I never would've known it, darlin'<br/> C C/E<br/> If I hadn't known about you<br/> F F G G [stop]<br/> You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too<br/> <br/> Well something happens when you find someone<br/> Makes you feel like you can do no wrong<br/> You don't have to take the whole world on, just be tender when you wanna be<br/> <br/> C C F F G G C F - G<br/> Sha la la la laa laaa [instrumental]<br/> C C F F G G C C<br/> [baritone guitar solo]<br/> <br/> And I never would've known it baby<br/> If I hadn't known about you<br/> You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too<br/> <br/> So let the waters carry us away<br/> Wave goodbye to the old parade<br/> Baby, when we're unafraid to be tender when we wanna be<br/> <br/> All the waters wash our cares away<br/> All that we can see are better days<br/> Don't ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be<br/> <br/> C F - G C F - G<br/> Sha la la la la laa laaa, sha la la la laa laaa<br/> C F - G C C.<br/> Sha la la la la laa laaa<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com<br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
