Intro:
A

Verse 1:
A
He fell in love with a reservation girl
A
During the time of the sugarbeat harvest
A               D
They moved out west to the coast where he built her a bed
           A
Made of shagbark from Sherwood forest
               E
And life was good until she told him goodbye
                D
Said they was better off living separate lives
                A
And maybe they was

PreChorus:
               D                 A
But should we stop and take her with us
            D                 A
Should we stop and take her with us
            D                 A
Should we stop and take her with us
             E
For all our time

Verse 2:
A
We left Worcester with our boots and our bags
A
And America undressed herself in front of our eyes
A          D
My sister told me
D           A
My sister told me
           E
That the games in the hills where the hickory falls
          D
And you never know when you gonna run from it all
          A
Like she did

PreChorus:
               D                 A
But should we stop and take her with us
            D                 A
Should we stop and take her with us
            D                 A
Should we stop and take her with us
             E
For all our time

Chorus:
A                         D   A   D
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
              A   D   E                         D
You know its just so hard to see that you were right
A                         D   A   D
Adelaide you know you're just no good for me
              A   D   E                         D
You know its just so hard to see that you were right 
D                  A
Oh, that you were right

Verse 3:
A
She was dangling her legs over the little Colorado river
A
Catching the last bit of sunlight in all of Arizona
A    D                A 
Told me, 
D         A
Arizona told me.
E
So I asked her if she wanted to fly
     D
If maybe she needed a ride
         A
Anywhere at all

PreChorus:
               D                 A
But should we stop and take her with us
            D                 A
Should we stop and take her with us
            D                 A
Should we stop and take her with us
             E
For all our time
