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
