[HERMES:] (soft southern accent)
Em C How to get to Hadestown G D You'll have to take the long way down Em C Through the underground, under cover of night G D Laying low, staying out of sight Em C Ain't no compass, brother, there ain't no map G D Just a telephone wire and the railroad track Em C Keep on walking and you don't look back G D 'Til you get to the bottomland
[ORPHEUS]
Em C G D Wait for me, I'm coming Em C G D Wait, I'm coming with you Em C G D Wait for me, I'm coming too Em I'm coming too
[HERMES]
Em C River Styx is high and wide G D Cinderbricks and razorwire Em C Walls of iron and concrete G D Hound dogs howling round the gate Em C Them dogs'll lay down and play dead G D If you got the bones, if you got the bread Em C But if all you got is your own two legs G D You best be glad you got 'em
[ORPHEUS]
Em C G D Wait for me, I'm coming Em C G D Wait, I'm coming with you Em C G D Wait for me, I'm coming too Em I'm coming too
[HERMES]
Em C You're on the lam, you're on the run G D Don't give your name, you don't have one Em C And don't look no one in the eye G D That town will try to suck you dry Em C They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath G D They'll pluck the heart right out your chest Em C They'll truss you up in your Sunday best G D And stuff your mouth with cotton
[ORPHEUS]
Em C G D Wait for me, I'm coming Em C G D Wait, I'm coming with you Em C G D Wait for me, I'm coming too Em I'm coming too Em C G D Wait, wait, wait, wait
