Doesn't matter which one
C# minorC#m                   A augmentedA          G# minorG#m
 'Cause it seems your song made quite a strong impression on my wife
C# minorC#m                   A augmentedA             G# minorG#m
 But it takes more than singin' songs to keep a woman in your arms

If you want to hold a woman, son

With sterling silver bracelets

Fill her pockets full of stones

Hades:
C# minorC#m
Young man, I was young once too
A augmentedA         G# minorG#m
Sang a song of love like you
C# minorC#m
Son, I too, was left behind
A augmentedA         G# minorG#m
Turned on one too many times
C# minorC#m
Now I sing a different song
A augmentedA      G# minorG#m
One I can depend upon
 C# minorC#m
A augmentedA simple tune, a steady beat
A augmentedA       G# minorG#m
The music of machinery
C# minorC#m
You hear that heavy metal sound?
A augmentedA         G# minorG#m
The symphony of Hadestown
C# minorC#m
And in this symphony of mine
A augmentedA       G# minorG#m
Of power cords and power lines
C# minorC#m
Young man, you can strum your lyre
A augmentedA           G# minorG#m
I have strung the world in wire
C# minorC#m
Young man, you can sing your ditty
A augmentedA
I conduct the electric city!

Hades:
C# minorC#m
I'll tell you what, young man
A augmentedA            G# minorG#m
Since my wife is such a fan
C# minorC#m
And since I'm going to count to three
A augmentedA            G# minorG#m
And put you out of your misery
C# minorC#m
One!-- give me one more song
A augmentedA           G# minorG#m
One more song before I send you
C# minorC#m
Two!-- to the great beyond
   A augmentedA        G# minorG#m
Where nobody can hear you singing
C# minorC#m
Three!-- sing a song for me
A augmentedA       G# minorG#m
Make me laugh, make me weep
C# minorC#m        BB      A augmentedA
Make the king feel young again
G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m
Sing for an old man!
