Anaïs Mitchell – Epic Part I (Guitar)

C               D
King of diamonds, king of spades!

C          G           D
Hades was king of the kingdom of dirt

C                 D
Miners of mines, diggers of graves

C                  G        D
They bowed down to Hades who gave them work

          C                     D
And they bowed down to Hades who made them sweat

     C              G          D
Who paid them their wages and set them about

C            G            D
Digging and dredging and dragging the depths

        C        G      D
Of the earth to turn its insides out, singing

C        D        Em
La la la la la la la...

C        D        E
La la la la la la la...

C        D        Em

G        D        C

C              D
King of mortar, king of bricks

C                             D
The River Styx was a river of stones

C                   D
And Hades laid them high and thick

C               G              D
With a million hands that were not his own

C                        D
And a million feet that fell in line

C                         D
And stepped in time with Hades? step

C                             D
And a million minds that were just one mind

C                 D
Like stones in a row

     C        D
And stone by stone

     C      D
And row by row

C        D        Em
La la la la la la la...

C        D        E
La la la la la la la...

C        D        Em
La la la la la la la...

G        D        C
