Turn Me Tender

|D   |Em   |A   |Dsus4 D |Bm  |F#m  |G  D  |Em  A  |

[Verse 1]
     D                   D7
It’s happened again, the colourless sky
    Bm                       Em         D
Has dimmed me again and I’ve run out of why
     D                         D7
Hank Williams is grieving, I’m scanning the Psalms
     Bm                       G         D
When Jesus was here they stilletoed his palms
        Em             F#m         G           A
And the pledge and the vow is ‘you find if you seek’
    Em          F#m          G           A
But what if you try and find nothing but bleak

[Chorus]
D
So turn me tender again
Em
Fold me into you
A
Turn me tender again
    Dsus4       D
And mould me to new
Bm
Faith lost its promise
    F#m
And bruised me deep blue
        G          D   A
Turn me tender again
                   D
Through union with you

|D   |Em   |A   |Dsus4 D |Bm  |F#m  |G  D  |Em  A  |

[Verse 2]
       D                          D7
Let me lay with you now like that very first time
         Bm                            Em        D
I’ve had rooms full of dollars but I’m down to a dime
               D                     D7
Though there’s wonder and awe in the mane of a lion
        Bm                    G             D
There’s nowhere to go and I’m chapters from Zion
    Em              F#m         G          A
Yet you’re still my cryptic and cherishing prayer
     Em       F#m          G           A
With serenity kisses that soothe and repair

[Chorus]
D
So turn me tender again
Em
Fold me into you
A
Turn me tender again
    Dsus4       D
And mould me to new
Bm
Faith lost its promise
    F#m
And bruised me deep blue
        G          D   A
Turn me tender again
                   D
Through union with you

|D   |Em   |A   |Dsus4 D |Bm  |F#m  |G  D  |Em  A  |

[Verse 3]
      Bm                         Em
And laments have a purpose and laments have a cost
  A               D
A requiem playing gathers the lost
   Bm                         Em
It sometimes tastes sour, the sweetness of hope
         A                       D
When the blizzards are raging on this lover’s slope
      Em            D      G         A
Yet I don’t want to freeze inside or out
         Em          D          G             A
For it’s you that dissolves the cold walls of doubt

[Chorus]
D
So turn me tender again
Em
Fold me into you
A
Turn me tender again
    Dsus4       D
And mould me to new
Bm
Faith lost its promise
    F#m
And bruised me deep blue
        G          D   Em   A
Turn me tender again

D
So turn me tender again
Em
Fold me into you
A
Turn me tender again
    Dsus4       D
And mould me to new
Bm
Faith lost its promise
    F#m
And bruised me deep blue
        G          D   Em   A
Turn me tender again

|G   |D   |A

                   D
Through union with you
