Hadestown - Hey Little Songbird Ukulele chords by Soundtracks

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

***BROADWAY VERSION***

HADES:
Cm      Ab    Gm    Cm
Hey little songbird give me a song
    Cm   Ab    Bb      G
I’m a busy man and I can’t stay long
Cm        Ab     Eb     Dm
I got clients to call I got orders to fill
Cm       Ab       Eb    G
I got walls to build I got riots to quell
      Cm    Ab       G
And they’re giving me hell back in Hades
Cm      Ab    Gm        Cm
Hey little songbird cat got your tongue
Cm     Ab     Bb       G
Always a pity for one so pretty and young
Cm       Ab     Gm    Dm
When poverty comes to clip your wings
Cm      Ab                G
And knock the wind right out of your lungs
Cm        Ab     G
Hey nobody sings on empty

EURYDICE:
Eb                  Bb    Eb
Strange is the call of this strange man
                   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

HADES:
Cm     Ab     Gm            Cm
Hey little songbird you got something fine
Cm            Ab      Bb        G
You’d shine like a diamond down in the mine
Cm           Ab          Gm     Dm
And the choice is yours if you’re willing to choose
Cm     Ab       Eb      G
Seeing as you’ve got nothing to lose
Cm       Ab   G
And I could use a canary

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 gonna be two of us
Eb        G      Cm
Weren’t we birds of a feather

HADES:
Cm      Ab    Gm     Cm
Hey little songbird let me guess
Cm      Ab      Bb      G
He’s some kind of poet and he’s penniless

Cm         Ab       Eb       Dm
Give him your hand he’ll give you his hand-to-mouth
Cm        Ab       Eb    G
He’ll write you a poem when the power’s out
    Cm       Ab        G
Hey why not fly south for the winter
Cm      Ab    Gm     Cm
Hey little songbird look all around you
Cm      Ab      Bb      G
See how the vipers and vultures surround you
Cm         Ab       Eb       Dm
They’ll take you down they’ll pick you clean
Cm        Ab       Eb    G
If you stick around such a desperate scene
    Cm       Ab        G
See people get mean when the chips are down
