Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em](Fro[Bm]m[B][Em][G][Bm][Em]
[G]Hadestown)

[Verse 2]
PERSEPHONE Hades, [G]my husband,
Hades, my [F#m]light[A]
Hades, my [Em]darkness
If you had heard how he sang tonight
[A]You'd pity poor Orp[Em]heus!

[Verse 3]
[Em]All of his sorrow won't [Bm]fit i[B]n his chest
It just [Em]burns like a fire in the [G]pit of his chest
[Bm]And his hear[Em]t is a bird
on a [G]spit in his chest
[Bm]How long[G], how [Bm]long, how long?[Em]

[Verse 4]
HADES [G]How
long? just as long as
Hades is [A]king
Nothing comes of wishing on [Em]stars
Nothing comes of the songs
people [A]sing[G]
[A]However [C]sorry they [Em]are

[Verse 5]
[Em]Give them a piece and they'll [B]take it all
[Em]Show them the crack and they'll
[G]tear [Bm]down [F#m]the wall
[Em]Lend them an ear and the
[G]kingdom will [F#m]fall
The [G]kingdom [Bm]will fall for a song

[Verse 6]
[Em]PERSEPHONE
[G]What does he care for
the logic [A]of kings?
The laws of your under[Em]world?
It is only for love that he sings!
[A]He sings for the love of [Em]a girl

[Verse 7]
[Em]HADES
You and your pity don't [Bm]fit [B]in my bed
You [Em]just burn like a fire in the [G]pit of my bed
[B]And I tur[Em]n like a bird on a spi[G]t in my bed
[Bm]How long[G], how [Bm]long, how long?[Em]

[Verse 8]
PERSEPHONE [Bm]How
long? [G]just as long as I am [A]your wife
It's true the earth must [Em]die
But then the earth comes back [F#m]to life
[A]And the sun just goes on ris[Em]ing

[Verse 9]
[Em]BOTH
And how does the sun even [Bm]fit [B]in the sky?
It just [Em]burns like a fire in the [G]pit of the sky
[B]And the[Em] earth is a bird on a spi[G]t in the sky
[Bm]How long[G], how [Bm]long, how long?
