Tender Years

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

Tender Years
recorded by George Jones
Written by Darrell Edwards

C
You keep saying you love him
G7 C
I believe that it's true

And it just doesn't matter
G7 C
How much I love you

C7
But in time you'll understand dear
F C
When you shed a tear

Then you'll know you were living
G7 C
In your tender years

In your eyes there's a love light
G7 C
That shines for him

But how long will it stay there
G7 C
Will that love light grow dim

C7
You can just see the happiness
F C
You can't see the tears

Yes it's true you've been living
G7 C
In your tender years

So if I can't be your first love
G7 C
I'll wait and be your last

I'll be somewhere in your future
G7 C
To help you forget the past

C7
Then you'll know that I love you
F C
With a love that's sincere

Cause I'll wait 'til you're through living
G7 C
In your tender years

C7
Yes you'll know that I love you
F C
With a love that's sincere

Yes I'll wait 'til you're through living
G7 C
In your tender years
