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

Capo on 3rd fret

C in the verse is played with a hammer-on on the 2nd string
I’m not really sure if it’s A or A7, they both work
The B7 is only played here

– Verse 1 –
He’s been waking all through the night
Pacing around in the moonlight
Because these same dreams won’t let him be

The cameras photographs everything
That he’s been burying down beneath
And show him what he don’t wanna see

– Bridge –
He counts the hours creeping by
His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide
C G (B7)
Tossing and turning through the night, oh the night

– Verse 2 –
He has this one where he’s being pursued
By every woman he ever knew
But at first grasp he wakes and gasps

He watches her laying there sound asleep
Wonders who’s chasing her through her dreams
And when they do if it scares her too

(Bridge)

– Chorus –
And oh how he needs to get some sleep
But who waits down there so deep
Leaves him shaking him at the knees, it seems

– aaah-Part –


– Solo –


(Bridge)
(Chorus)

Oh oh oh oh…
