Tenderness On The Block Chords by Warren Zevon


Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight
Daddy don’t ask her when she’s coming in
I know how much it hurts to see her go

Trying to run before she can walk - that's right
When she’s home don’t ask her where she’s been
She has a mind of her own ya-know

She's growing up
She’s going out
She’s all grown up
                       
She has a young man waiting
She has a young man waiting
She has a young man waiting

She's growing up
She’s going out
She’s all grown up 
                      
She has a young man waiting
Can’t keep her young man waiting
She has a young man waiting
     
Wide-eyes
She’ll be OK
She was wide eyed
                 
She'll be street-wise
Let her have her day
Now she’s street wise
        
To the lies
It’s a long way
To the lies 
         
And the jive-talk
It’s a long walk
And the jive-talk
                          
But she'll find true love
But she’ll find true love
But she’ll find true love 
                        
And tenderness on the block
And tenderness on the block
And tenderness on the block

end play the last two lines then repeat rhythm and oh  ho y- hey now
