"Adelaide" Lyrics:
He fell in love with a reservation girl
During the time of the sugar beet harvest
They moved out west to the coast where he built her a bed
Made of shagbark from Sherwood Forest
And life was good until she told him goodbye
Said they was better off living separate lives
And maybe they was
Well should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
For all our time
We left Worcester with our boots and our bags
And America undressed herself in front of our eyes
My sister told me
My sister told me
That there's gangs in the hills
When the hickory falls
And you never know when you're gonna run from it all
Like she did
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
For all our time
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see that you were right
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see that you were right
You were right
She was dangling her legs over the little Colorado River
Catching the last bit of sunlight in all of Arizona
Told me
Arizona told me
So I asked her if she wanted to fly
If maybe she needed a ride
Anywhere at all
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
Should we stop and take her with us
For all our time
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see that you were right
Oh that you were right
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
I tried he said underneath his breath
I've tried
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
Oh Willy, I wish that you could love me less
I tried he said underneath his breath
I've tried
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see that
You were right
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
You know it's just so hard to see that
You were right
Oh you were right

Though it will never be recognized as such in the future, and though it is not old enough to have been recognized so far, this ought to be known as one of the great American road songs.11 years ago

Jamie Peacock
chords are mostly A D E kinda blues style "should we stop and..." is D A repeated ; leading chord is Bm chorus: Adelaide! - A ... D C#m Bm Just No Good (match the chords to the words) For (F#m) me you know its Just So Hard (match with the same chords as before) to (E) see that you were (A) right (the second time the last A is changed to a D) the quiet bit near 2:15 is A F#m D A if she wannted to fly E C#m A theres a start the next bit is repetitive find the chord that fits12 years ago

Shifting perspectives make this a very dream-like song. It is an examination of the feelings that hurt and the desire to fly from them and the indecision at the heart of this. It evokes a sort of timeless Americana and the footloose ethos that is the forgotten aspect of the American dream. Fly, Chadwick, fly.12 years ago
