Chords
Chorded by Alaina Musich
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.
G6 G G6 G Lady Adelaide shows no emotion G6 G G6 G Colder than a wave in the Arctic Ocean G6 G G5 G She waited all her years for those 3 words G6 G That never reached her ears G6 G D C They just went unhea----rd G6 G G6 G Porcelain and frail, slender shoulders G6 G G6 G A breeze of gusty gale could knock her over G6 G G6 G She knew a handsome man who she gave her body G6 G But he did not take her hand G6 G D C And her heart broke softly--------- 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
