Each chord is half a measure except two chords joined by a hyphen are a half-measure total.] [In MCC’s 1995 tour she performed a version of this song that was straight rock ’n’ roll. That version had pretty much the same chords except the bridge (the part with "I never would have known it...") used rather than /.] [intro] [intro] I have a heart that’s proud you bet I have a mind that won’t forget That I have arms that are strong yet tender when they wanna be Well you can be the will that finds the way You can be the one who saves the day But show me tender when it’s time to say exactly how it oughta be And I never would’ve known it darlin’ If I hadn’t known about you You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too Well something happens when you find someone Makes you feel like you can do no wrong You don’t have to take the whole world on just be tender when you wanna be Sha la la la laa laaa [instrumental] [baritone guitar solo] And I never would’ve known it baby If I hadn’t known about you You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too So let the waters carry us away Wave goodbye to the old parade Baby when we’re unafraid to be tender when we wanna be All the waters wash our cares away All that we can see are better days Don’t ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be Sha la la la la laa laaa sha la la la laa laaa Sha la la la la laa laaa - Adam Schneider
