Tuning: G C E A

Tender Years recorded by George Jones Written by Darrell Edwards

^CYou keep saying you love him I ^G7believe that it's ^Ctrue

And it just doesn't matter

How ^G7much I love ^Cyou But in time you'll under^C7stand dear When ^Fyou shed a ^Ctear

Then you'll know you were living

In ^G7your tender ^Cyears

In your eyes there's a love light

That ^G7shines for ^Chim But how long will it stay there Will that ^G7love light grow ^Cdim

You can just see the ^C7happiness You ^Fcan't see the ^Ctears

Yes it's true you've been living

In ^G7your tender ^Cyears

So if I can't be your first love

I'll ^G7wait and be your ^Clast I'll be somewhere in your future To help ^G7you forget the ^Cpast

Then you'll know that I ^C7love you With a ^Flove that's sin^Ccere

Cause I'll wait 'til you're through living

In ^G7your tender ^Cyears Yes you'll know that I ^C7love you With a ^Flove that's sin^Ccere

Yes I'll wait 'til you're through living

In ^G7your tender ^Cyears
