She remembers the night 
      A          D
They first were alone
     A           D
When he took her home and he said
    G         A,         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              A,         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#/A#,  Bm
  Treat me gently in the morning,        please

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
A,        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
A,          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–(Bm––––)
  Treat me gently in the morning

   Bm         
It all went so fast, 
         A         D
One day he went away
     A           D
He said, "St. Tropez"
                  G      A,   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"
     A,        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     G,A,(D) Repeat till fade
  I'll be on that plane tonight
