Tenderness On The Block - Warren Zevon

E
Mama, where's your pretty little girl tonight
E
Trying to run before she can walk - that's right
A                                       E
She's growing up  She has a young man waiting
A                                       E
She's growing up  She has a young man waiting
A     E                A     E
Wide-eyes  She'll be street-wise
       A E            B
To the lies  And the jive-talk
        A                  B
But she'll find true love
                        E
And tenderness on the block

E
Daddy don't ask her when she's coming in
E
When she's home don't ask her where she's been
A                                       E
She's going out   She has a young man waiting
A                                      E
She's going out  Can't keep her young man waiting

A     E                   A     E
She'll be OK  Let her have her day
       A E                B
It's a long way  It's a long walk
        A                  B
But she'll find true love
                        E
And tenderness on the block

E
I know how much it hurts to see her go

She has a mind of her own ya-know
A                                          E
She's all grown up   She has a young man waiting
A                                         E
She's all grown up  She has a young man waiting
A     E                        A     E
She was wide eyed  Now she's street wise
       A E             B
To the lies   And the jive-talk
     A                  B
But she'll find true love 
                        E
And tenderness on the block
  A                  B
she'll find true love 
                        E
And tenderness on the block
