Anaïs Mitchell – Epic Part Two (Guitar)

         Am     G         D   C
Like the hammer loves the nail

                      D               C
But the heart of a man is a simple one

               D               C
Small and soft, flesh and blood

                           D    C
And all that it loves is a woman

           D
A woman is all that it loves

    C                     D                  C
And Hades is king of the scythe and the sword

                           D             C
He covers the world in the colour of rust

                      D
He scrapes the sky and scars the earth

       C                    D
And he comes down heavy and hard on us

    C                    D                C
But even that hardest of hearts unhardened

                 D
Suddenly when he saw her there

C                 D
 Persephone in her mother's garden

C                     D
Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair

    C                        D               C
The smell of the flowers she held in her hand

                                  D
And the pollen that fell from her fingertips

    C                  D         C
And suddenly Hades was only a man

                         D
With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing

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

C        D
La La La La La La

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

C        D        Em
La la la la la la la
