Lady Adelaide Lyrics
This song technically holds a G over the verse. In practice, it doesn't sound right unless you're
fingerpicking. If you'd like your chord to sound more rounded, use a G6 or C back and forth as
noted.
When the last word of the verse is sung ("unheard" in Verse I), it has 2 vocal notes.
The first half of the word is played with a D, then C. Tried to note within the music.
NOTE THAT THE G6 (I6 chord) IS CORRECT, BUT C (IV chord) MAY BE SUBSTITUTED IF PREFERRED.
Lady Adelaide shows no emotion
Colder than a wave in the Arctic Ocean
She waited all her years for those 3 words
That never reached her ears
They just went unhea----rd
Porcelain and frail, slender shoulders
A breeze of gusty gale could knock her over
She knew a handsome man who she gave her body
But he did not take her hand
And her heart broke softly---------
Now she's a bird with broken wing
She likes the ideas of things
More than what they are bound to bring
Lady Adelaide
And with her beauty in slow fade
She is so fearful the will say
That she is a bed that's been unmade
Lady Adelaide
