C                    F    G7                   C 
It's just a mother's way  to worry through the day 

                  F                  G7 
Bout every little thing like falling off a swing 

                    C 
When you are out at play 
  

                        F   G7                  C 
The years slide quickly by  the summers seem to fly 

                  F                   G7 
And then you move along you break out on your own 

                      C 
But you don't see her cry 


                      F 
For a while she hides behind a smile 

             G7                            C 
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today 

                       F 
Take her hand show her you understand 

         G7                             C 
A little tenderness will go a long long way 


                       F      G7                C 
And now the years have flown  she's sitting all alone 

             F                        G7 
With all her photographs and memories of the past 

                         C 
She's glad when you come home 


                      F 
For a while she hides behind a smile 

             G7                            C 
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today 

                       F 
Take her hand show her you understand 

         G7                             C 
A little tenderness will go a long long way 


                      F 
For a while she hides behind a smile 

             G7                            C 
But then her eyes reveal she worries still today 

                       F 
Take her hand show her you understand 

         G7                             C 
A little tenderness will go a long long way 


         G7                             C 
A little tenderness will go a long long way
