[Intro]
 Am                Dm
Seems like he owns everything

   Am                           E
Kind of makes you wonder how it feels

   Am       Dm
Way down Hadestown

Am       E         Am
Way down under the ground

   Am       Dm
Way down Hadestown

Am       E         Am
Way down under the ground

Am       E         Am
Way down under the ground

Am       E         Am
Way down under the ground
[Pre-chorus]
Em                 Dsus2  D                  Em                    G  G/F# Em
Why do we build the wall, my children my children why do we build the wall
[Chorus 1]
Em
How to get to Hadestown:

C
You’ll have to take the long way down

           G
Through the underground, under cover of night

D
Laying low, staying out of sight

       Em
There ain’t no compass, brother, ain’t no map

         C
Just a telephone wire and the railroad track

   G
You keep on walking and you don’t look back

         D
’Til you get to the bottomland

 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
I’m coming!
Em
Wait,

C
Wait,

G
Wait,

D
Wait...
[Bridge]
Am                    Em
Heavy and hard is the heart of the king

Am           Em
King of iron, king of steel

Am                    Em
The heart of the king loves everything

         Am     D         Am
Like the hammer loves the nail

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

C              D
Small and soft, flesh and blood

    C                D
And all that it loves is a woman

C          D
A woman is all that it loves
[Chorus 2]
D
Who are you?

Dm
Who are you to lead her?
Who are you to lead them?
Dm
Who are you to think that you can hold your head up higher than your fellow man?

Dm
Who are you?
Who do you think you are?
D
Who are you?

C                                 F
I'll tell you where the real road lies:
Between your ears, behind your eyes
C
That is the path to Paradise

E
Likewise, the road to ruin

A
I'm coming wait for me
[Company]
A
Show her the way
[Eurydice]
F                G

[Eurydice]

The falling of our feet and

Am
It sounds like drumming
[Company]
Am
Show her the way
[Eurydice and Company]

And we are not alone Show
Show her the way
F                    Am
I hear the rocks and stones Show
Show her the way
             G
Echoing our song Echoing our song

      Am     G
I'm coming coming coming
[Outro]

Orpheus

 C
Hold on

It won't be long

  C
'Cause the darkest hour

  C             C
Of the darkest night

             F  G     G
Comes right before the dawn
