Try A Little Tenderness

Tabbed by: Al-Zahran

Hello! I'm kinda new to this sorta 
thing, but I decided to give this 
gorgeous song a
Most of the credit should go to Reda
 Woodcock who posted the bass tabs 
on here- sorry I
ask before I used them, but thanks 
anyway. I just sort of dressed them 
up to make the guitar parts.
OK, here they are for your 
enjoyment.

Bm     E                     Am
   Ooh she may be weary
                D
And them young girls they do get 
weary
G                     F      
   Wearing that same old shaggy 
      E
dress
Am                              D
   But when they get weary
 D             Bm            Em  
Try a little tenderness
    Am   D


G                 E
   You know she's waiting
Am         D
   Just anticipating

       G                     F    
The thing that she'll never, 
              E
never, possess,no,no
Am      Am
    But while she's there waiting
D                      D         
   Go to her and try a little bit
    G           C   G
 of tenderness


C            Bm
  It’s not just sentimental yeah, 
yeah
Em                   Am
  She has - her greaves and care
C                             Bm
   But the soft words [they] are 
spoken so gentle
Am                                
    But, oh, that makes it easier,
                        D
 easier to bear, yeah


Play these power chords nice and 
light and really short. Listen to 
the song for timing.

You probably repeat the fast bit and
 do the chorus again - that’s the 
two last bits.

The End! You have yourself a beauty!
