Tenderly

A F#7 Bm7/5- Dm6 E7

A E7/5+ A7/9 D9

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly,

The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.

Dm Dm6 E7 Dm Dm6 E7

Then you and I came wandering by,

Fdim F#m7 B7 Bm7/5- E7

And lost in a sigh were we.

A E7/5+ A7/9 D9

The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly;

I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.

Your arms opened wide and closed me in - side;

Cdim A Fdim Bm7/5- Dm7/5- Fdim A D9 Bm7/5- E7

You took my lips, you took my love so ten - der - ly.

(Instrumental Interlude: first verse)

A E7/5+ A7/9 D9

The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly;

I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.

Your arms opened wide and closed me in - side;

You took my lips, you took my love so ten - der - ly.
