Tender Years 
recorded by George Jones
Written by Darrell Edwards 
 
C
You keep saying you love him
  G7                C
I believe that it's true
 
And it just doesn't matter
    G7          C
How much I love you
 
                        C7
But in time you'll understand dear
     F          C
When you shed a tear
 
Then you'll know you were living
   G7          C
In your tender years
 
   
In your eyes there's a love light
     G7         C
That shines for him
 
But how long will it stay there
          G7              C
Will that love light grow dim
 
                     C7
You can just see the happiness
    F             C
You can't see the tears
 
Yes it's true  you've been living
   G7          C
In your tender years
 
 
So if I can't be your first love
     G7               C
I'll wait and be your last
 
I'll be somewhere in your future
        G7             C
To help you forget the past
 
                        C7
Then you'll know that I love you
       F              C
With a love that's sincere
 
'Cause I'll wait 'til you're through living
   G7          C
In your tender years
 
                       C7
Yes you'll know that I love you
       F              C
With a love that's sincere
 
Yes  I'll wait 'til you're through living
   G7          C
In your tender years
