Tenderly - Tony Bennett, 1960 ( little easier to play for the less advanced player) Intro: The evening breeze, caressed the trees, tenderly, The trembling trees, embraced the breeze, tenderly. Then you and I, came wandering by, And lost in a sigh, were we. The shore was kissed, by sea and mist, tenderly; I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly. Your arms opened wide, and closed me inside; You took my lips, you took my love, so ten - der - ly. Instrumental Interlude: First verse Chords The shore was kissed, by sea and mist, tenderly; I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly. Your arms opened wide, and closed me inside; (5th) You took my lips, you took my love, so ten - der – ly.
