HERMES:

E minorEm       C majorC
How to get to Hadestown:
G+G            D MajorD
You’ll have to take the long way down
      E minorEm          C majorC
Through the underground, under cover of night
G+G          D MajorD
Laying low, staying out of sight
    E minorEm             C majorC
There ain’t no compass, brother, ain’t no map
     G+G           D MajorD
Just a telephone wire and the railroad track
E minorEm             C majorC
You keep on walking and you don’t look back
     G+G         D MajorD
’Til you get to the bottomland

ORPHEUS:

E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait for me, I’m coming
E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait, I’m coming with you
E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait for me, I’m coming too
      E minorEm
I’m coming too


HERMES:
E minorEm         C majorC
The River Styx is high and wide
G+G         D MajorD
Cinder bricks and razor wire
E minorEm       C majorC
Walls of iron and concrete
G+G          D MajorD
Hound dogs howling 'round the gate
E minorEm          C majorC
Them dogs’ll lay down and play dead
    G+G           D MajorD
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
    E minorEm         C majorC
But if all you got is your own two legs
   G+G        D MajorD
You best be glad you got ’em

ORPHEUS and FATES:

E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait for me, I’m coming
E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait, I’m coming with you
E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait for me, I’m coming too
      E minorEm
I’m coming too


HERMES:

E minorEm            C majorC
You’re on the lam, you’re on the run
G+G             D MajorD
Don’t give your name, you don’t have one
  E minorEm        C majorC
And don’t look no one in the eye
 G+G           D MajorD
This town will try to suck you dry
    E minorEm            C majorC
They’ll suck your brain, they’ll suck your breath
     G+G          D MajorD
They’ll pluck the heart right out your chest
     E minorEm         C majorC
They’ll truss you up in your Sunday best
    G+G         D MajorD
And stuff your mouth with cotton


ORPHEUS and COMPANY:

E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait for me, I’m coming
E minorEm    C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
Wait, I’m coming with you
E minorEm    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
Wait for me, I’m coming too

I’m coming!

E minorEm
Wait,
C majorC
Wait,
G+G
Wait,
D MajorD
Wait...
