Chords for Hadestown Chant I Lyrics

[A] _ _ _ [D#] _ [G] _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ [E] _ [G#m] _ _ _ [E] _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ Keep your head low, keep your head [E] low _ [B] _
_ [E] If [G#m] you wanna keep your [E] head low
[G#m] Oh you gotta keep your head low Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh you gotta keep [E] your head low [B] If you wanna keep your head [E] [B] low
Oh, you gotta [C#] keep your head
In the coldest [E] time of [C#m] year
Why is it so [F#] hot down here?
[C#m] Hotter than a crucible
It ain't right and it ain't natural
Lover, you were [G#m] gone so long
Lover, I was [C#m] lonesome
So [G#m] I built a foundry
In the ground beneath your feet
Here I fashioned things of [C#] steel
Oil [B] drums and [C#m] automobiles
Then I kept that [G#m] furnace [C#m] dead
With the fossils of the dead
Lover, when you [B] feel that [C#m] fire
Think of it as my desire
Think of it as my desire for you
I'll [B] sing a [C#m] song
[G#m] Of a love gone [C#m]
wrong
A love [G#m] gone wrong, all right
[C#m] Every year they had this fight
Oh, [E] keep your head, keep your head low
[G#m] Oh, you gotta [C#m] keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
Keep your head, keep your head [B] low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep [C#m] your head
Lover, [B] why you sing your [A] song?
[G#m] Winter is a-comin' [C#m] on
See, I'm [F#] stackin' firewood
[A] See, I'm putting [G#m] by some [C#m] food
_ [B]
Heart beyond
[A] All the pretty [G#m] songs you sing
Ain't [C#m] gonna [B] shelter [A] us
From [B] the wind in the winter
[G#] [E] Ooh, _ [B] _
[C#m] _ [C#] ooh, [G#] ooh
[C#m] [G#] Oh! _
[G#m] _ [C#m] _ _ [Fm] _ [C#] [E] In the darkest time of year
Why is it so bright down here?
Brighter than a carnival
It ain't right and it ain't natural
Lover, [B] you were gone so [F] long
Lover, I was [B] lonesome
So I laid a pot red
In the ground on which you stood
And wasn't it _
[C#m] electrifying
When I made the [B] neon [C#m] shine?
Silver screen, tabloid [F#m] ray
Brighter than the light of day
[C#m] [B] Lover, when you see [C#m] that glare
Think of it as my despair
[A] [D#] Think of it [C#m] as my despair For you
I'll [B] sing a [C#m] song
Of a love gone wrong
When the gods are having [G#m] a fight
[C#m] Everybody else better hold on tight
Oh, [G#m] keep your head [F#] low
Oh, [C#m] you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head [E] low
[C#m] Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
[G#m] If you wanna keep your head
While my [B] lover sings this song
Everything [G#m] I've saved is gone
Nothing left upon the [F#m] shelf
[A] Fire [G#m] ain't gonna light itself
[E] Now I see all the pretty songs he sings
Ain't gonna [Am] hover [B] me
[E] From the wing, [B] the wing, [C#m] the wing
[B] _ _ [A] Ooh, [G#m] ooh, [C#m] _
_ [E] _ [B] _ [A] _ _ [G#m] _ [G#] [C#m] ooh, _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [C#m] _
ooh
[B] _ [A] Every [G#m] _ [Bm] _
year it's getting worse
[A] _ Hadestown, hell on [F#m] earth
Did you think I'd be [E] impressed
[A] With this neon necropolis?
I [G#m] recall there was a [Am] time
We were [G#m] happy, you and I
[A] In [G#m] the garden where we [A] met
Nothing was [B] between us yet
_ [Am] Back [G#m] before your factories
[A] Before [G#m] your electricity
[A] Back before [B] you built the wall
It ain't right and it ain't natural
[E] [B] Lover, everything I do
[E] I do it for [B] the love of you
[G#m] If you don't even want [B] my love
I'll give it to [A#] someone [Bm] who [C#] does
Someone grateful for her [G#m] faith
Someone who _ appreciates
The comforts of a gilded [F#] cage
And doesn't [G#m] try to fly [C#m] away
The moment Mother Nature calls
Someone who could lock these walls
That hold her close and keep her safe
And think of them as my embrace
Singing la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, [C#] la, la
Think [C#m] of them as my embrace.
_ Think _ _
_ [B] _ [Gm] of [B] them as my [F] _
embrace of you.
