G
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
C
They just went unheard
G
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
C
Ohhh
G
Am
Now she's a bird with broken wing
C
She likes the ideas of things
G
More than what they are bound to bring
D
Lady Adelaide
Am
And with her beauty in slow fade
C
She is so fearful the will say
G
That she is a bed that's been unmade
D
Lady Adelaide
Am D G
