[Chorus] Sweet Adeline Sweet Adeline My clementine Sweet Adeline Repeat intro once more. [Verse 3] It’s a picture perfect evening and I’m staring down the sun Fully loaded deaf and dumb and done Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head Or any situation where I’m better off than dead End with playing the G chord over and over until the music comes to a halt.
