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! 

Em 
Wait, 
C 
Wait, 
G 
Wait, 
D 
Wait...
