Adelaide’s Path (Willow A New Musical)

Ensemble:
C      F
Ohhhhhhhh
C      F
Ohhhhhhhh
C
Round about the beacon we go
            F
We’re never alone
F
Covens of flowers
                  C
And beds we call home
 

Meg:
C                                     Dm
Watch how the stories unfold on their own
 

Adelaide:
C
My favorite thing is walking home
     Bb        F
From church on Sundays
                          C
Watching the birds, on my way home
                    F
Everything is as it should be
Fm                           C
Not a feather or twig out of place
             Fm                C
I brought disinfectant just in case
                   Fm
Cause if I were to fall
          C
I’d disappear without a trace
   Bb           F
My husband died last fall
C                        F
I don’t feel him here at all
     Dm        Bb                 F
Everyone tells me when loved one’s diе
F
They’re aren’t rеally gone
F
So where are you?
 
Chorus:
Gm                  C
I’ve been down this path
           F
A thousand times and more
Gm          C7               F
Nothing has changed, but oh that forest floor
Gm                C7         F
It never sparked interest in me before
F                   Gm                          C
But now that you’re gone, I’ve been wanting more
 
Verse:
C
Now that you’re gone
                F
I have urges to stray off the road
                 C
I need something different, something exciting
           F
To lighten the load
            Fm            C
And maybe I’ll find a new friend
           Fm        C
To help me feel less alone
              Fm                            C
I have a nice house, but I am looking for a home
      Fm                     C
Not a feather or twig out of place
               Fm           C
I built a high wall just in case
                   Fm
Cause if I were to fall
             C     G    C     Gm
No one would remember my face
 
Chorus:
               C
I’ve been down this path
C7         F              Gm
A thousand times and more
            C                    F            Gm
Nothing has changed, but oh that forest floor
         C7               F
It never sparked interest in me before
             C                      F       Am
But now that you’re gone, I’ve been wanting more
 

      Fm                     C
Not a feather or twig out of place
               Fm           C
I built a high wall just in case
                   Fm
Cause if I were to fall
            F          C
I fear that nothing at all would change
C         Fm
When will things change
 

Bea:
Fm
When will things change
 

Grace:
Fm
When will things change
 

Cassia:
Fm
When will things change
 

Meg:
Fm
I don’t want things to change
 

Beatrice + -Ensemble-:
C
So we can be -Adelaide-
C
Eachother’s new -Oh Adelaide-
           F
A stranger world
                   C
I could share with you
C
My home is yours -What will you change-
C
And Adelaide -Oh Adelaide-
               F                        Gm
Will you stand by me for the rest of our...
 
 
Adelaide:
                  C
I’ve been down this path
           F              Gm
A thousand times and more
              C7                      F               C
I’m changing my story, the rest of my life’s in store
C
My heart keeps on beating
            F
Toward this distant shore
    C            G           C   Gm
And now, I might be finding more
 

C        F  Gm
Oooooooooh
C7       C  F Gm
Oooooooooh
C   F    C  G
Oooooooooh
 

Meg:
C
Ow!
