Tenderly - Tony Bennett, 1960
(A little easier to play for the less advanced player)
Intro: A F#7 Bm7 Dm7 E7
A E7 A7 D7
The evening breeze, caressed the trees, tenderly,
Bm7 Dm7 A C#m7 Bm7 A
The trembling trees, embraced the breeze, tenderly.
Dm Dm7 E7 Dm Dm7 E7
Then you and I, came wandering by,
F#m7 B7 Bm7 E7
And lost in a sigh, were we.
A E7 A7 D7
The shore was kissed, by sea and mist, tenderly;
Bm7 Dm7 A (C#m7 Bm7 A
I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly.
Dm Dm7 E7 F#m7 B7
Your arms opened wide, and closed me inside;
A Bm7 Dm7 A D7 Bm7 E7
You took my lips, you took my love, so ten - der - ly.
