TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS  -  Otis Redding

          
Oh she may be weary
                     
Those young girls, they do get weary
G               F               E                  E7  e-0-------|
Wearing that same old shaggy dress        b---3-1-0-|
                                  
But when she gets weary
                                       
You try a little tenderness

         
I know she's waiting
   
Just anticipating
                                                       
The thing that you'll never, never possess no, no, no
                                        
But, while she's there waiting
                                              
Try just a little bit of tenderness

That's all you got to do

Now it's not just  sentimental no
                         
But she has        her griefs and cares
                            
But the soft words   they are spoke so gentle,  yeah, yeah, yeah
                                       
And it makes it easier, easier to bear


               
You won’t regret it, no no
                     
Them young girls they don't forget it
                                     
Love is their whole happiness yeah, yeah, yeah
             
But it’s all so easy

all you got to do is try
