Love Me Tenderly Lyrics
You'll have to improvise a bit here, as it isn't 100% accurate. It actually can be
played better in the Key of C major with a capo on the II fret. Enjoy!
I might lost my leg in the war
What War? The War of love
My girl's a real shark
I'm not gonna try to uh debate it, not everybodys perfect
My baby told me, "Darling if you can't get a pardon, better get a parole"
I told her I'd be out by morning when the sun is down and with the money rolled
G A7 D /c# D7
Ooh we, that gal's the gal for me
She loves me tenderly
I walked with my brand new slacks and my hair slick back down to Donny's pier
Donny wants me to buy him a bottle but I blew my wallet on a chandelier
G A7 D /c# D7
All for my loving gal Eleanor
who loves the elderly
G A7 D /c# D7
A bottle of scotch A dimesack and a diamond watch
Wouldn't you like that
G A7 D /c# D7
A bottle of gin A typewriter and a violin
Wouldn't you like that
(piano part)
Whoa! James Felice on the piano. Real talent. Alright Jimmy that's enough let's wrap it up.
G A7 D /c# D7
Ooh we, that gal's the gal for me
She loves me tenderly
I left my blue-eyed lady and went with Tony Mercedes to the gambling room
I lost my diamond watch but in the parking lot I took back again
G A7 D /c# D7
Oh man you've got to understand
She loves me tenderly
G A7 D /c# D7
A bottle of scotch A dimesack and a diamond watch
Wouldn't you like that
G A7 D /c# D7
A bottle of gin (what)A typewriter and a violin
Wouldn't you like that
G A7 D /c# D7
A sunny day, a shotgun and a Chevrolet
Wouldn't you like that
G A7 D /c# D7
A painted scene of horses on the city green
Wouldn't you like that
G A7 D /c# D7
A microwave, a pillbox and a jack of spades
Wouldn't you like that
