Hadestown Chords

(ver. 1)
Anais Mitchell
[ORPHEUS]
C                  D
  King of diamonds, king of spades!
C          G           D
Hades was king of the kingdom of dirt
C                 D
Miners of mines, diggers of graves
C                  G        D
They bowed down to Hades who gave them work
          C                     D
And they bowed down to Hades who made them sweat
     C              G          D
Who paid them their wages and set them about
C            G            D
Digging and dredging and dragging the depths
        C                G       D
Of the earth to turn its insides out, singing
 
 
[Chorus]
C        D        Asus2 Em
La la la la la la la...
C        D        E
La la la la la la la...
C        D        Asus2 Em
La la la la la la la...
G        D
La la la la la la...
 
 
[Verse]
C                D
  King of mortar, king of bricks
C                             D
The River Styx was a river of stones
C                   D
And Hades laid them high and thick
C               G              D
With a million hands that were not his own
C                        D
And a million feet that fell in line
C                         D
And stepped in time with Hades' step
C                             D
And a million minds that were just one mind
C                 D
Like stones in a row
     C        D
And stone by stone
     C      D
And row by row
D
The River rose up, singing
 
 
[Chorus]
C        D        Asus2 Em
La la la la la la la...
C        D        E
La la la la la la la...
C        D        Asus2 Em
La la la la la la la...
G        D        C
La la la la la la...
 
 
[Outro]
