Misc Mashups – Hadestown Medley (Guitar)

Am                                Dm
On the road to hell there was a railroad track

 Am
Oh come on

 Am                          E
And a train coming out from way down below

 Am
That was not six months

 Am                      Dm
Better go an get your suitcase packed

  Am              E
Guess its time to go

Follow that dollar for a long way down

   Am             E
Far away from the poorhouse door

   Am                    Dm
Either get to hell or to Hadestown

   Am                   E
Ain't no difference anymore
