Lady Adelaide - Benjamin Gibbard

Tabbed by:----
I wrote this tab out from a how-to video from Youtube. When playing you should use
a pluck-flick-pick picking pattern. This is a common pattern used by Gibbard.

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 unheard
Porcelain and frail, slender shoulders
A augmentedA 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
