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
