[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ Mr.
Hermes!
Hey, the big artiste!
[C] Ain't you [Gb] working on your masterpiece?
[B] Where's Eurydice?
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find [Eb] another muse [Em] somewhere.
Where is she?
[E] Why you wanna know?
[C] Wherever she is, is where I'll go.
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [B] And what if I said she's down [Em] below?
Down below?
[Eb] Down below, [C] six feet under the ground,
_ [B] [Ab] she called your name before she went,
[Bb] but [Eb] I guess you weren't listening.
[Abm] _
No.
So, _ [E] just how far would you go for [B] her?
_ To the end of [Gb] time, _ to the end of the [B] earth.
You [E] got a ticket?
No.
[C] _ [Am] Yeah, I didn't think [B] so.
[D] Course there is another [B] way, but,
[Gbm] nah, I ain't supposed to [Em] say.
Another way?
Around the [C] back.
But that ain't easy walking, Jack.
[G] It ain't for the sensitive of [C] soul.
So do you really wanna [Em] go?
_ With all my heart?
[C] _ _
With all [G] your heart.
_ _ [B] Well, _ _ that's a [Bm] start.
How to get to Hadestown?
You [C] have to take the long way [G] down,
through the underground, under cover of night,
[D] laying low, staying out of sight,
[Bm] ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map,
just [C] a telephone wire and a railroad track.
[G] Keep on walking and don't look back
till you get to the [D] bottom land.
[Em] Wait _ [C] for me, [G] I'm coming. _
[D] _ [Em] Wait, _ _ [C] I'm coming [G] with [D] you.
[Em] Wait _ [C]
for me, [G] I'm coming [D] too, I'm [Bm] coming too.
River sticks as high and [G] wide,
cinder bricks and razor wire,
walls of iron and [D] concrete,
hound dogs howling round the gate,
[Bm] those dogs will lay down and play dead
[D] if you got [G] the bones, if you got the bread,
but if all you got is your own [D] two legs,
just be glad you got them.
[Em] Wait _ [C] for me, [G] I'm coming.
_ [D] _ _ [Em] _ Wait, [C] I'm [G] coming with _ [D] you.
[Em]
Wait [C] for me, [G] I'm [B] coming too, [E] I'm coming [A] too.
[Em] Who [A] are [E] you?
_ _ Where do you think you're going?
[Bm] Who are you?
_ Why [Em] are you?
_ _ _ _ [A] Who do you [Am] think you are?
Who are you [Em] to think [E] that you can [Em] walk a road
that [B] no one ever [Em] walked before?
[E] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ Don't _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ give your name, you don't have one,
and don't look no one in the [D] eye.
That time they'll try to suck you [Bm] dry,
they'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath,
[G] they'll pop the heart right out your chest,
they'll dress you up in your Sunday best
[D] and stuff your mouth with cock meat.
[Em] Wait [C] for me, I'm [G] _ coming.
[D] _ [Em] Wait, _ _ [C] I'm coming [D] with _ _ you.
[Em] Wait _ [C] for [G] me, I'm coming [D] too, I'm [Em] coming too.
I'm coming, wait for [C] me.
I hear the walls repeating, [D] the [G] falling of my [D] feet,
It sounds like [Em] drumming, and I am not alone.
[C] [Bm] I [C] hear the rocks and [D] stones _ [G] [D] echoing my song. _
I'm coming. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [Em] _

_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
