Lady Adelaide by Benjamin Gibbard

Chorded by Alaina Musich

This song technically holds a G+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 G6G6 or C majorC 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 G6G6 (I6 chord) IS CORRECT, BUT C majorC (IV chord) MAY BE SUBSTITUTED IF PREFERRED.

G6G6   G+G   G6G6     G+G
Lady Adelaide shows no emotion

G6G6      G+G      G6G6   G+G
Colder than a wave in the Arctic Ocean

G6G6         G+G   G5G5    G+G
She waited all her years for those 3 words

G6G6           G+G
That never reached her ears

G6G6    G+G    D MajorD   C majorC
They just went unhea----rd

G6G6      G+G   G6G6   G+G
Porcelain and frail, slender shoulders

G6G6        G+G     G6G6    G+G
A augmentedA breeze of gusty gale could knock her over

G6G6         G+G      G6G6    G+G
She knew a handsome man who she gave her body

G6G6           G+G
But he did not take her hand

G6G6         G+G   D MajorD   C majorC
And her heart broke softly---------

      A minorAm
Now she's a bird with broken wing

       C majorC
She likes the ideas of things

        G+G
More than what they are bound to bring

   D MajorD
Lady Adelaide

       A minorAm
And with her beauty in slow fade

     C majorC
She is so fearful the will say

       G+G
That she is a bed that's been unmade

   D MajorD
Lady Adelaide
