[Actually in F; capo 5. Each chord is half a measure, except two chords
joined by a hyphen are a half-measure total.]
[In MCC's 1995 tour, she performed a version of this song that was straight
rock 'n' roll. That version had pretty much the same chords, except the
bridge (the part with "I never would have known it...") used Dm Dm Em Em
rather than Dm7 G C C/E.]

And I never would've known it baby
If I hadn't known about you
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
So let the waters carry us away
Wave goodbye to the old parade
Baby, when we're unafraid to be tender when we wanna be
All the waters wash our cares away
All that we can see are better days
Don't ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be
DO FA - SOL DO FA - SOL
Sha la la la la laa laaa, sha la la la laa laaa
