Key: B
Introduction: Bm
Bm
She remembers the night
A D
They first were alone
A D
When he took her home and he said
G D F#
"I need you, won't you stay?"
Bm
And all through the night,
A D
His eyes had a light
A D
That burned very bright and she hoped
G F#m
His words weren't well read lines
Em F#m G A
A little ill at ease she whispered, "Baby, please"
D G A
Treat me gently in the morning
D G A
Take my heart but stay with me
D G A F# Bm
Treat me gently in the morning, please
Interlude: Bm----
Bm
Her mamma said, "Silly girl,
A D
You should marry him or leave
A D G
He'll only make you grieve when he decides it's over
D F#
Wake up child"
Bm
But the years fell away,
A D
They grew closer they found
A D G
Though they had their ups and downs just like lovers do
F#m
Still she'd say,
Em F#m G A
"It's okay to fight, when we're alone late at night"
I'll always say
D G A
Treat me gently in the morning
D G A
Take my heart but stay with me
D G A G A
Treat me gently in the morning
Interlude: Bm----
Bm
It all went so fast,
A D
One day he went away
A D
He said, "St. Tropez"
G D F#
But he died that winter in a plane
Bm A D
The last thing he sent was a postcard from Rome
A D
It read, "I'm coming home,
G
Lady, I love you"
F#m
And under his name
Em F#m
Was a P.S. that read
G A
Very simply it said
D G A
Treat me gently in the morning
D G A
I can't live another night
D G A
Treat me gently in the morning
G A D
I'll be on that plane tonight
