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 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
