Capo: 5.
TENDER WHEN I WANT TO BE (Mary Chapin Carpenter) ------------------------------------------------ [Actually in F; capo 5. Each chord is half a measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen are a half-measure total.] [In MCC's 1995 tour, she performed a version of this song that was straight rock 'n' roll. That version had pretty much the same chords, except the bridge (the part with "I never would have known it...") used Dm Dm Em Em rather than Dm7 G C C/E.]

And I never would've known it baby If I hadn't known about you You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too So let the waters carry us away Wave goodbye to the old parade Baby, when we're unafraid to be tender when we wanna be All the waters wash our cares away All that we can see are better days Don't ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be
