[B]
[G] [C]
[Em] Hey, the [E] big [C] artiste!
Ain't [E] you working on your masterpiece?
[D] Where is she?
Brother, what do you care?
[Ebm] You'll find [Eb] another muse somewhere.
[Em] Where is she?
[E] Why you [G] wanna know?
Wherever she is, is where I'll go.
[Bm]
[Ebm] Now what if I said she's down below?
[E] Down below.
[D] Down below.
[G] [C] Six feet under the ground below.
[Bm] She called your name before [Abm] she went, [Eb] but I guess you weren't listening.
[B] [Abm] No.
So,
[Dbm] just how far would you go for?
[Ebm] [B] To the end of [Gb] time, to the end of the [B] earth.
You got a ticket?
No.
[C] Yeah, I didn't think so.
[Db] [D] Course, there is [G] another way, but [Gbm] I ain't supposed to say.
[Em] Another way?
Yeah, around the back.
[C] That ain't easy [G] walking, Jack.
It ain't for the sensitive of soul, so [C] you really wanna go?
[Em] Saw my heart.
[C] Ah, with all your heart.
[G]
Well, [B] that's a start.
[Bm] How to get to Hades Town?
You'll have to tell me.
It's gonna take the long way down, through the underground, undercover at night, laying
low, staying out of sight.
There ain't no compass, brother.
Ain't no map.
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track.
[G] You keep on walking and don't look back till you get to the bottom [D] land.
[Em] Wait for [C] me, [G] I'm coming.
[D]
Wait, [Em] [C] I'm coming [G] with [D] you.
[Em] Wait for [C]
me, [G] I'm coming [D] too.
I'm coming [Bm] too.
The river [Em] sticks is [G] high and wide, cinder bricks and razor wire, walls of iron and concrete,
[D] hound dogs howling around the gate.
[Bm] Those dogs will lay down [G] and play dead [C] if you got the [D] bones, if you got the bread.
[G] But if all you got's your own two [D] legs, you best be glad you got them.
[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 coming [G] too.
You're on the lam, you're on the run.
Don't give your name, you don't have one.
And don't look no one in the eye.
[D] This town will try to suck [Bm] you dry, they'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath,
[G] pluck the heart right out your chest, crush you up in your Sunday best and stuff your
mouth with [D] cot.
[Em] Wait [C] for me, I'm [G] 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 [Em] coming.
Wait, wait,
[G] [Em] wait,
[D] [Em] wait.
[G] [C]
[G]
