Cm G# Gm Cm [tab]Cm G# Bb G I'm a busy man and I can't stay long Cm G# Eb G7 I got clients to call I got orders to fill Cm G# Eb G I got walls to build I got riots to quell Cm G# G And they're giving me hell back in Hades
[Verse]
Cm G# Gm Cm Hey little songbird cat got your tongue Cm G# Bb G Always a pity for one so pretty and young Cm G# Eb G When poverty comes to clip your wings Cm G# Eb G And knock the wind right out of your lungs Cm G# G Hey nobody sings on empty
[Chorus]
(EURYDICE)
Eb Bb Eb Strange is the call of this strange man Eb Cm C# Cm I want to fly down and feed at his hand Eb Bb G I want a nice soft place to land Eb G Cm I wanna lie down forever
(hey..)
[Verse]
(HADES)
Cm G# Gm Cm (..Hey) little songbird you got something fine Cm G# Bb G You'd shine like a diamond down in the mine Cm G# Eb G7 And the choice is yours if you're willing to choose Cm G# Eb G Seeing as you've got nothing to lose Cm G# G And I could use a canary
[Chorus]
(EURYDICE)
Eb Bb Eb Suddenly nothing is as it was Eb Cm C# Cm Where are you now Orpheus Eb Bb G Wasn't it always the two of us Eb G Cm Weren't we birds of a feather
[Verse]

Cm G# Gm Cm Hey little songbird let me guess Cm G# Bb G He's some kind of poet and he's penniless Cm G# Eb G7 Give him your hand he'll give you his hand-to-mouth Cm G# Eb G He'll write you a poem when the power's out Cm G# G Hey why not fly south for the winter Cm G# Gm Cm Hey little songbird look all around you Cm G# Bb G See how the vipers and vultures surround you Cm G# Eb G7 They'll take you down they'll pick you clean Cm G# Eb G If you stick around such a desperate scene Cm G# G N.C. See people get mean when the chips are down
