Intro:
Gm, Dm7, D7 x2


Gm                           C7
Hades, my husband, Hades, my light

Cm7           Gm
Hades, my darkness

Gm                          C7
If you had heard how he sang tonight

      Cm7           Gm
You?d pity poor Orpheus!

Gm                      Dm7        D7
All of his sorrow won?t fit in his chest

Gm                               Dm7        D7
It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest

Gm                           Dm7         D7
And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest

    Dm7       D7        Gm
How long, how long, how long?


Gm                                 C7
How long? Just as long as Hades is King

        Cm7                 Gm
Nothing comes of wishing on stars

Gm                                    C7
And nothing comes of the songs people sing

Cm7                Gm
However sorry they are

Gm                    Dm7             D7
Give them a piece and they?ll take it all

Gm                              Dm7           D7
Show them the crack and they?ll tear down the wall

Gm                       Dm7          D7
Lend them an ear and the Kingdom will fall

Dm7              D7         Gm
The Kingdom will fall for a song


Gm                                 C7
What does he care for the logic of kings?

    Cm7               Gm
The laws of your underworld?

Gm                          C7
It is only for love that he sings!

   Cm7                     Gm
He sings for the love of a girl

Gm                      Dm7       D7
You and your pity don?t fit in my bed

Gm                               Dm7       D7
You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed

Gm                          Dm7        D7
And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed

    Dm7       D7        Gm
How long, how long, how long?


Gm                                  C7
How long? Just as long as I am your wife

     Cm7                 Gm
It?s true the earth must die

Gm                               C7
But then the earth comes back to life

        Cm7              Gm
And the sun just goes on rising

Gm                        Dm7        D7
And how does the sun even fit in the sky?

Gm                               Dm7        D7
It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky

Gm                           Dm7         D7
And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky

    Dm7       D7        Gm
How long, how long, how long?
