Guitar chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

A           F#m      D9          E7
She may be weary  women do get weary
 A         C#m5-/7        F#7
Wearing the same shabby dress
D9             E7/13   E7 D9    Bm5-/7  Cdim  E7     A F#m D9 Dm6 E7
And when she's weary
try  a  little  tenderness
A             F#m       D9       Dm6 Cdim  E7
You know she's waiting
just    anticipating
A             C#m5-/7    F#7  Gdim  F#7
Things she may never possess
Bm           Bm/A         D9    Bm5-/7  Cdim  E7   A D9 A#7M A A7
While she's without them, try   a   little   tendeness
Bridge
     D       Fdim  C#7
It's not  just   sentimental
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     easier  to bear
A   G#m     F#m       D9    Dm6    Cdim A#9
You won't regret it  women don't forget it
A   Cdim     C#m5-/7 Bm5-/7    F#7  Gdim  F#7
Love is their whole     happiness
Bm  Bm5-/7   E7/13 E7    D9    Bm5-/7  Cdim  E7 A D9 A#7M A6
It's all  so   easy  try  a  little    tenderness
