Adaeda's got the blues

Adaeda's got the blues

She’s being played

He taps his shoes

As he strums away

Oh, the chords he will

So carefully choose

Strike a chord in her heart

Adaeda's got the blues

 

Adaeda's got the blues

Adaeda's got the blues

A man, his guitar, and a microphone

Clad in worn leather shoes

Denim and herringbone

He sings to the crowd

But to her, they are alone

Adaeda's got the blues

 

Adaeda's got the blues

Adaeda's got the blues

He draws them out of her

He makes her sing

When they’re together

He makes it leave

The stormy weather

Her song, it echoes from within

Fills the void

And it’s because of him

 

But then he sets her down…again

Now she’s been left alone...again

The blues have hit back home…again

Adaeda's got the blues...again

Adaeda's got the blues

 

The notes, the chords

The somber words

The perfect blend

For a heart on mend

With the power to heal

Make her live

Make her feel

That is, until they end

Leaves a lonely heart again

So this may just be old news

But Adaeda's got the blues

Adaeda's got the blues

 

*Adaeda’s name was derived from the guitar chord sequence of an old blues riff (A,D,A,E,D,A)
