Hadestown - Wait For Me chords by Soundtracks

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

HERMES:

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

ORPHEUS:

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
           Em
I’m coming too


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



ORPHEUS and FATES:

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
           Em
I’m coming too



HERMES:

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



ORPHEUS and COMPANY:

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!
